Our education model emphasizes authentic learning experiences by giving students the foundational knowledge to explore and acquire a conceptual understanding of the world around them. Through problem-based learning, students will be able to propose solutions to real world issues using the skills and concepts they are learning every day.
Core Values
Personalized Learning
Instruction is designed to accomodate for social emotional needs, and academic strengths. This includes:
- Experiential lessons
- Rigorous instruction, tailored to student
needs, strengths, and interests - Whole-group, small-group, individualized
and independent instruction based on
student needs.
Bronzeville Classical elementary has partnered up with the Institute for Personalized Learning to build our instructional program. For our first year of implementation, we are focusing on Learner Profiles. Learner profiles are co-created by educators and learners and comprised of rich, current information regarding each learner. They typically include at least four dimensions: demographic data, academic status, learning-related skill set, and potential learning drivers.
