The mission of Southern Avenue Charter School of Academic Excellence and Creative Arts is to educate the whole child to experience academic and social successes through a variety of research-based, data driven teaching methods and brain developing activities; and to lay the necessary foundation for the child to perform successfully in middle school, high school and beyond, thus enabling that child to become a productive, self supporting citizen in a technologically advanced, culturally diverse society. Southern Avenue Charter School will provide an alternative route to success for K-5th grade students who are failing to reach their full potential in traditional school settings.
