SOAR Charter Academy


 

About Us

 

   The co-founders of SOAR are all teachers with over 65 years experience in education with strong beliefs about how children learn. We love what we do and want to have the opportunity to do what we know is right for all children.
   SOAR is a K-4 public charter school that is free to all children. We will add a grade level a year until we reach grades K-6. We are a non-profit public benefit corporation and are seeking support from parents, community members and businesses through donations of supplies, services, and monies.

   Our governing Board is interested in creating lasting relationships with supporters of our Mission and Vision.  The creating and sustaining of a great school takes collaboration and teamwork and we are very excited about what we have to offer San Bernardino and what our community has to offer SOAR Charter Academy.

Our Vision

  SOAR Charter Academy’s vision is to provide a dynamic standards-based education for every child in our diverse community using an integrated curriculum stressing academic excellence and character development. Our school believes in educating the whole child and preparing them to be outstanding, active citizens in our community.

 

Our Mission

   SOAR’s vision of providing an exemplary and well-rounded  K-6 education will be accomplished by integrating the academic and social curriculum and using an innovative instructional schedule.

   Our program will require that every student apply what they learn in character education in a variety of community service projects. Our emphasis on the whole child will produce students that not only excel beyond the state’s academic standards but become well-rounded, creative, responsible, critical thinkers who will be prepared to make a difference in the 21st Century.

   SOAR’s program is based on the belief that education is a shared responsibility between the students, faculty, parents, and the community.
