About

THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES A TK-12 PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL, ACADEMY FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. THE SCHOOL PROVIDED INSTRUCTION FOR APPROXIMATELY 1,450 TK-12 STUDENTS. THE SCHOOL IS MODELED ON THE PRINCIPAL THAT CHILDREN LEARN BETTER WHEN THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ACTIVELY ENGAGED ALONG WITH THE TEACHER IN THE EDUCATION PROCESS.
