Mission Statement

A college preparatory charter high school with a fine arts focus ​ Longleaf School of the Arts will develop students into confident, responsible, and successful contributors in college, career, and community through mentorship and a challenging curriculum that integrates academics and the fine arts.

Description

Our Educational Focus:

Longleaf School of the Arts proposes to construct a secondary school model based on theories of educating the whole child, including cognitive, affective, and social dimensions. The educational theory behind this program is based on over a century of research into how students learn most effectively. Just as this school seeks to educate three distinct aspects of an adolescent, so does the model draw from different sources to inform these three organizational schemes.

​

The cognitive instructional dimension includes theories of how students become masters of a discipline (content pedagogy), what is important to know (curriculum), and how we can best teach students to make connections among disciplines to solve real-world problems (general cognitive development). To this end, LSA will follow Renzulli’s Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model, and Mortimer Adler’s Paideia model. The efficacy and reliability of these models are supported by extensive research.
