American Renaissance Charter School is a diverse team of learners creating an exemplary educational environment where we nurture and challenge each other to become productive members of the global community.

VISION

To provide an engaging educational environment, which surrounds the child in a community of learners, who acknowledge and believe in the unique, yet dynamic nature of the human spirit and strive to foster and nurture the individual through meaningful and challenging opportunities in art, research, communication, and science while collectively experiencing a Renaissance of the Mind.

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

Providing opportunities for experiencing a Renaissance of the Mind takes dedication and collaboration.  Together with the local Statesville business and service organizations, our professional staff aims to enable “free-to-risk learning.” From the unique and vibrant physical characteristics of our historical school building to the project-based, interactive curriculum, students are exposed to a superior liberal arts education.  Cooperative grouping and problem solving are basic components of our daily learning.  In addition, teachers facilitate a constructivist educational environment by incorporating the latest in technology-based learning, children’s literature, and cutting edge, hands-on professional practice.  The North Carolina Standard Course of Study provides a basic foundation for our learning objectives, but American Renaissance Charter School is committed to expanding and extending these core requirements with a philosophy that invites discovery and inquiry - life long learning skills and thinking processes that ensure the possibility and reality of each individual’s continuous and ongoing Renaissance of the Mind.
