Now that Your Charles is bayou bound to teach in charter school classrooms, the inevitable "Big Project" (magnificently named Castle Atlantis) will again be on the front page of every major Bronsonius Rex blog. Castle Atlantis is the dream company of teacherhero Bronsons Charles and Amerigo, which will unleash a virtuous empire of innovative and high-achieving schools that will mold to the community and then transform it. So now that Your Charles will soon be under charter school rule, his ambitious soul will be attuned to soak up the good ways with the bad plays, so that he may comecorrect with Castle Atlantis's nexus, two years hence. Below is the mission statement. Preview away.
N.B. If you want to contribute to the Castle Atlantis Project, please rent or buy Death Wish 4 or the Great Escape from your local Netflix or Blockbuster superstores. For a limited time only, all proceeds go, in true Bronson fashion, to saving you from yourself and the world from Death Star-like combustion by teaching the children well, of course.
Castle Atlantis School Mission Statement:
Castle Atlantis is a preparatory high school that addresses the diverse needs of students in the classroom and the urgent needs of New Orleans through community outreach. The school uses a core-based and progressive curriculum to empower students to actively participate in reconstruction while learning to become tomorrow's leaders.
School Vision Statement:
Castle Atlantis High School provides an innovative educational approach in an elite learning environment. The school offers an intensive core curriculum in all major subjects with strong focus on science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. Castle Atlantis emphasizes student achievement and academic rigor in an environment that applies both traditional and "hands on" learning in classrooms outfitted with modern technologies and workspaces.
At the core of Castle Atlantis' community outreach is a self-contained modular home construction and delivery workspace, housed on site, from which portions of the curriculum are derived and applied. Each class presents tangible application to learning objectives by incorporating construction-based lessons spread throughout each thematic unit of study. In doing so, the school produces at least one prefabricated home per year, built upon environmentally sustainable principles, to be donated to a low-income family affected by Hurricane Katrina. As the students build, they will document this process through digital media and share their experience with the global community.
At night, the school serves as a community hub providing family services, teaches academic and vocational classes to adults, directs sports teams and clubs for students, and continues house construction with community volunteers.
The Castle Atlantis School faculty consists of certified teachers from local school districts, recent graduates from America’s top universities, specialists from advanced math and science fields, counselors from health service organizations, and both full-time and part-time contractors.
Castle Atlantis High School seeks to reinvigorate the community by rebuilding through education.
