Educational Philosophy
Our educational philosophy expounds the belief that every student can achieve high levels of academic progress if he/she has the desire to learn and no learning gaps form. The teachers at the Foxborough Regional Charter School (FRCS) follow instructional methods that pace students through well-defined curricula while maintaining expected levels of mastery. To support this philosophy, we adhere to the following tenets:
- Incoming students are evaluated to determine pre-existing learning gaps
- Immediate, intensive attention is given to any gaps that do exist
- Instructors follow a detailed, comprehensive curriculum that guides them in teaching essential skills and knowledge required for academic success
- Teaching methods keep students engaged and learning efficiently
- A Student Life program creates positive attitudes and behaviors
Continuous evaluation and feedback on student learning are integral to the instructional process and verify that students have successfully acquired crucial skills and fundamental knowledge essential to more complex learning. When gaps in learning are identified, intensive remedial attention is provided. This enables students to achieve the skills necessary at the appropriate levels.
