| Offering a small K-12 program, the Renaissance Charter School emphasizes its role in “Developing Leaders for the Renaissance of New York.” Its mission as a K-12 school is to foster educated, responsible, humanistic young leaders with a thorough understanding of New York’s heritage who will, through their own personal growth, spark a rebirth or “renaissance” in New York. The school provides a supportive, stimulating environment where young people can flourish in a small, village-like atmosphere. At the same time, the environment is carefully structured to reflect the spectrum of the different ethnic backgrounds, talents, and abilities that exists in New York City. The study of New York is the central curricular theme of the Renaissance Charter School. Traditional subjects such as math, science, language arts and social studies are related to the study of the geography, history, economics, culture and people of New York. |
