Georgetown Community School

Some of our goals at Georgetown Community school are to expose students to the enormous range of human endeavor and content-rich academic curriculum and, recognizing that virtually all human enterprises are rooted in language and mathematics, assist them in acquiring their highest potential in literacy and numeracy. Research proven educational programs and tools will be utilized, such as Phonics-based literacy, Saxon Math, Into Reading, and Step Up To Writing.

To instill a joy of learning in each student by utilizing our rich local heritage and beautiful mountainous environment as an enhancement to classroom study.

 As a way to reach the many and varied types of learners, we will take advantage of the opportunities just outside our school’s doors to engage and enrich the scholastic experience of each student. Themes and projects will complement curriculum and areas of study, and will be integrated regularly through these experiential opportunities.

To foster a culture of strong citizenship and peer accountability, where responsibility to community and respect for one another is paramount and where there is zero tolerance for behavior to the contrary.

To provide a center for community enrichment, in which parents and community members are mentors, contributors, and learners. The school will serve adult community members through enrichment labs and classes such as online continuing education or language courses. Students will benefit from the experience of participating in community service projects and work-study programs with local businesses which will, in turn, serve the greater community.
