About Citizens of the World Charter Schools

Our purpose at Citizens of the World Charter Schools is to realize human potential by strengthening the bonds among us and developing true citizens of the world. In this work, we are guided by our core values of Excellence, Authenticity, Diversity, Community, and Change and our operating norms, which reflect a commitment to personal and professional growth, including operating as learners, and with curiosity, integrity, and humility.

 

The mission of Citizens of the World Charter Schools is to impact and expand the conversation about what an excellent education contains, requires, and accomplishes. Citizens of the World schools challenge students to realize their full potential and thrive in a diverse society.

 

We are public schools open to all, committed to serving diverse communities throughout the U.S. with schools currently in Los Angeles and Kansas City.  We develop sophisticated thinkers who master content and have a courageous and compassionate sense of responsibility for themselves and all people.  Our schools are in strong demand: in 2015, we had ten times more student interest than space available.  Our classrooms are challenging and joyful learning environments that engage children through projects tailored to their personal experiences, strengths, and needs. 

 

Our teachers take the time to get to know each child as an individual. We empower children to think critically and learn to engage respectfully and productively with fellow students by developing their capacity to enter into and understand the lives of others. Our goal is for student “success” to include mastery of both content and emotions, so that students can meaningfully connect with each other, be part of any community, and courageously decide who they are in the world and how they want the world to be. 

 

In this work, we:

• Prepare students to become citizens of the world in an ever-changing future.
• Promote academic rigor and experiential learning to support and develop children’s natural intellectual curiosity.
• Embrace a constructivist, project-based learning approach to teaching and learning.
• Develop each child’s potential to live as a learner, both in school and out.
• Reflect, welcome, and celebrate the community’s diversity.
• Strengthen the bonds among members of the school community and beyond.
