We are having a great year at Lincoln. Our students are learning every day. As I go about the school I see students learning independently, in groups, and as a whole class. I see them working on individual assignments and projects. I see them doing hands on experiments and exploration and I have the opportunity to talk to them to see how their day is going. I have to have the best job in the world. Some days I feel like a super star as I walk the halls and have many students say hello to me. Additionally, I get to interact with some of the finest students and families I have ever met. Thank you for working with us to make Lincoln Academy a success.
At Lincoln, we strive to educate the whole student. Everyday we set aside time for reading, math, writing, science, and social studies . Weekly students are instructed in Art by parents and teachers; additionally we have specialists who teach PE, Music, Library and Spanish. We provide an in depth educational experience by using the Core Knowledge curriculum which enhances the state requirements. We strive to inspire children to reach their individual potential.
As a public charter school we follow state requirements for testing, reporting and licensing. We have wonderful, enthusiastic, certified teachers and energized, enthusiastic student learners. We have opportunities for parents to be involved in their child's education. We have a parent organization and parental representation on the board of trustees. The administration, staff, faculty, parents and students strive to work together to create a warm, safe, and nurturing educational environment.
