Values

At Feaster Charter School, students, parents, members of the faculty, and community members are committed to our common Vision. Together, we value diversity and promote equity for all.  We take great pride in our school and always strive to create the best possible learning environment for our children.

In order to prepare for the demands of the 21st century, students need to know core curricular areas as well as how to use their knowledge and skills by thinking independently and critically. Students must be able to apply knowledge to new situations, analyze information, and comprehend new ideas, while putting into practice effective communication, collaboration, problem solving, and decision-making. We value the role of education that works with both sides of the brain, emphasizing both knowledge and creativity.

We believe that every person has an innate desire to know and to understand, and that learning is the most important journey in every person’s life. The Feaster Charter students and staff are committed to an overall purpose and a set of core values.

Our Purpose:

Feaster exists to foster the academic, social, emotional, and physical achievement of ALL students in school and in life.
