 The Pocatello Community Charter School, a center of Expeditionary Learning, is the public school of choice serving approximately 324 K-8 students in Pocatello, Idaho. One visit to our school and you can see the difference. Our school’s mission is to work with parents in order to provide each child with an academically rigorous plan that is both innovative and flexible. We believe that each child has a unique set of talents, interests and challenges. The five core values of our school are: 1) A can-do attitude, 2) Respect for diversity 3) Creative leadership 4) Honesty and integrity, and 5) Personal responsibility. Our school is a center of Expeditionary Learning, a network of schools which emphasize active learning, literacy, character growth and teamwork. As an Expeditionary Learning school, we teach reading, writing, science, math, and social studies through a challenging set of connected, real-world projects called learning expeditions. Expeditions call upon both students and teachers to collaborate, revise our work through multiple drafts, achieve our personal best, and reflect upon what we have learned. As a leader in teaching about alternative energy, we help save power and tax dollars with the city's first Solar "4R Schools" solar panel and the first and only wind turbine. |
