They do not practice a 'well rounded' child curriculum. The focus is all on test scores. Kids spend 98% of their day with their noses in the books...no time for activities or just to de-stress.

Beloved Community Charter School offers a very rigorous and challenging curriculum. It requires parent involvement and committment, which serves as an advantage for your child(ren) and allows them to succeed academically. My two children placed in this wonderful school and although it is a fast paced academic curriculum, I enjoy it because my kids are challenged to their fullest potential.
