In 2003-2004, the American Academy for
Liberal Education accredited several charter schools as it moved out of
pilot phase. In 2003, AALE was awarded a significant grant from the United
States Department of Education to continue accrediting charter schools
that demonstrate 1.) a commitment to strengthen the study of humanities,
languages and sciences in K-12 curriculum and 2.) a reliable measure of
institutional health to the public, specifically parents, students, administrators,
political representatives, and foundations. This year, Princeton Charter
School (NJ), Black River Public School (MI), the Academy of Math and Science
(AZ) and W.E.B. DuBois Academy (OH) join five other schools in distinguishing
themselves through AALE accreditation. AALE’s 2004 applicants completing
their self-study phase include Della Lamb Elementary Charter School (MO),
KIPP Academy (TX), Paul Junior High Public Charter School (DC), and Sonoran
Science Academy (AZ). Through the support of the Department of Education
and the American Academy for Liberal Education, our extended activities
required hiring two new staff members, in order to respond to increasing
interest in our academically-focused accreditation. |
