Mission

The Gray Charter School’s mission is to provide its diverse student body the best possible education by focusing on the fundamental academic disciplines in an atmosphere that affirms academic achievements, and in so doing, to offer the community true choice in public education.

In kindergarten through eighth grade, a solid foundation must be built for a lifetime of learning. We believe that committed and dedicated teachers can make every child an achiever. We believe in making the poor student good and good student superior. We will be molding students for the future by making today different.

The classroom is a workshop where all children find the opportunity to give might to their brains. Children will be encouraged to never let the bad conquer the good, thus enabling them with power to go through life with clear and uncluttered channels.

Program Description

At the Gray Charter School, children will be taught to read through music. Grades K-6 will be taught phonics through music, as an extremely effective tool in educating students to read and spell well. Children in grades K-1 will also learn the Suzuki Violin Method. This method is predicated on the following findings:reading music is just like reading words; memory skills are sharpened through the playing of music from memory; concentration and perseverance are encouraged and developed; appreciation of fine musical literature is cultivated, thus promoting an appreciation for all forms of great literature.
