Mission Statement
Our Mission
It is the mission of D.U.E. Season Charter School to provide a distinguished education for students in urban America in a supportive learning environment permeated with protective factors which continuously give students opportunity to:
- Demonstrate academic mastery and social competency;
- Develop an insatiable thirst for learning and hope for the future;
- Learn to love, value, and respect themselves and others;
- Develop an honorable character and self-efficacy;
- Understand the wealth of their heritage;
- Develop an appreciation for the arts and the talents they possess; and
- Develop purpose and passion for life and embrace the priceless
contribution they can make to the American society.
We work to find solutions to technical problems in curriculum and assessment, teaching and learning, and teacher/student interaction. The model, based on resiliency theory and brain and learning research, will offer an alternative to the traditional means of educating urban youth, will be replicable throughout urban America, and will be utilized as a tool to close the "achievement gap."
