HAPPY NEW YEAR from the EL RIO TEAM!

………………………………………………………………………………………..

We are starting el Rio Charter School to cultivate academic excellence in our children through the proven “Waldorf” approach to education – a method that encourages the excitement of hands-on learning and creativity over mere memorization.

The mission of el Rio Charter School is:

To bring an outstanding Kindergarten through 8th grade education to the diverse community of Northeast Los Angeles by encouraging each child’s natural love of learning in a safe, healthy, and attractive campus environment.

To empower the continuous professional growth of enthusiastic teachers to help students achieve academic success.

To contribute to the pioneering change in public education with a holistic approach in which students are immersed in an arts-infused curriculum, a collaborative work ethic, intellectual exploration, and independent thinking.

We need parents, teachers and advisors willing to give their time and passion to make el Rio Charter School a reality for the children of Cypress Park, Highland Park, Glassell Park, Mt. Washington and Eagle Rock.  

A century of Waldorf success shows there is more to teaching than standardized testing. The Waldorf approach to teaching, homework and academic discipline develops a child’s lifelong love of learning through immersion in the subject, critical thinking and imaginative solutions. The result is high academic achievement.

Together we can make a difference in our children’s education. Join us. Help make it happen.

If you believe in a vision of an outstanding public school education for our children, are ready to devote some of your time and skills to make a Waldorf-style education a reality then let’s start the conversation.
