Curriculum Design and Teaching Methods

At the heart of the Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School is a highly structured curriculum that sets high expectations and provides individualized monitoring to assist students in attaining ambitious goals for achievement. The Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School provides a strong academic foundation for students at the elementary level that will prepare them for demanding academic studies in middle school and college-level work in high school.

In the tradition of the ancient Greeks, the School provides a classical liberal arts education, training children to think well, that is, to grapple with complex questions, look for solutions independently, and respond logically. The School's curricula in science, history, foreign language, music, art, and physical fitness are based on coherent and ambitious standards for what students need to learn from the earliest grades.
