A Day in the life at Belmont Academy Charter School

Morning

Afternoon Learning

Social Emotional Learning

Parents as Partners

Afterschool

Students begin their day with a healthy breakfast.

Each day, every class has a morning meeting where we learn about each other and have fun preparing for the day ahead. This also helps us to build strong relationships between friends and between each teacher and student.

Children are engaged in learning that is developmentally appropriate and individualized.

At recess we promote physical activity as we believe it optimizes learning and provides creative social and emotional growth.

We promote play as we believe it is crucial in a child’s social and emotional development.

We believe parents are our partners in their children’s learning.

We sit with each newly enrolled family to learn their goals and hopes for their children. Monthly parent learning and engagement events are held each month.
