Philosophy

  The Mingus Springs Charter School philosophy believes that the elementary and middle school years are of critical importance not only for the children’s long-term academic achievement, but also for their abiding sense of self-esteem.

Mingus Springs Charter School believes that the best strategy for dealing with the age effect and for giving the majority of children entering the school a chance to develop a healthy and robust liking for themselves, for learning, and for schooling, is small manageable classrooms with multiage grouping.

Mission Statement

Mingus Springs Charter School is designed to provide a progressive learning environment for quality education that will promote academic success and high self esteem for all students. Mingus Springs Charter School is committed to the development of academically and socially self directed students.
