WCA Request
•
Educational Program: The Charter School’s educational program has unique facilities needs. Key
components of the educational program of the Charter School include project based learning that
combines language arts, mathematics and history/social studies with environmental education,
garden/nutrition/cooking, intensive work in science and a strong integrated arts program (music, visual
arts, dance and theater).
•
Facility Needs: In order to effectively provide these aspects of our educational program, as well as the
general classroom organization, the facility allocated to the Charter School must provide the following:
o 16 classrooms for direct instruction (3 rooms over the 2012/2013 allocation)
o 3 additional rooms that can be used for small group work, science lab, cooking, project work.
o Additional space for music (Music Room)
o Space for arts instruction (Art Room)
o Lunch Room
•
Contiguous Classrooms: The Charter School’s educational program requires all three kindergarten classes
be located in the same building cluster; the same for three first grades, etc. It is essential for a strong
education and social collaboration that similar grade levels be located adjacent to each other to insure
cross class planning and sharing by the teachers at those grade levels and also to group appropriate play
areas for various aged classes.
