School Calendar and Daily Schedule. For children to learn more, they must be provided with more time to learn. CCA-West’s academic calendar will provide for an extended school day, which has proven effective in urban settings with low-performing public school students.2 Students will have the support and time needed to prepare for rigorous high school programs. Enrichment programs, tutoring, and homework support will enhance the school day, providing students with an in-depth knowledge of the curriculum and the confidence to achieve in a high-expectation environment. In an impoverished community with established schools performing below state averages and students below proficient levels, CCA-West must redouble efforts to ensure urban students bridge the gap between their performance and that of their suburban counterparts. CCA-West will provide two blocks of literacy and math per student per day. Daily in-school tutoring will bolster this effort for students who require even more instructional and support time. Eleven full days will be dedicated to providing all staff PD and collaboration opportunities, with dedicated time to review ongoing student-achievement data, share effective teaching practices, and review curriculum and assessment development. Teachers will have two planning periods per day. Teamwork and grade- level planning will be an integral part of the staff culture at CCA-West. The school year for the staff begins in August with a three-week Summer Institute. Students will participate in a three-day orientation prior to the beginning of core academic instruction. This orientation will introduce students to the culture of high expectations and no excuses at CCA-West and will provide direct instruction and practice of school-wide expectations, procedures, and routines. Students will be divided into four grade-level advisories, and students within an advisory will have the same schedule throughout the day. This will provide simplicity in scheduling and group camaraderie. All students will have the opportunity to begin daily homework assignments at the end of each day with a teacher’s support. All students will have enrichment opportunities after the regular academic day has ended. These activities might include basketball, soccer, student government, and computer literacy; they offer students a chance to explore their individual interests within a structured group setting and build communication skills and confidence in achievement. The school is based on a trimester schedule. Eac...

School Calendar and Daily Schedule. For children to learn more, we must provide more time for them to learn. CCA’s academic year will provide an extended school day within an extended school year—both of which have proven effective in urban settings with low-performing public school students. Students will therefore have the support and time needed to prepare for rigorous high school programs. Enrichment programs, tutoring, and homework support will enhance the school day, providing students with an in-depth knowledge of the curriculum and the confidence to achieve in a high-expectation environment. 1 Schools studied include Excel Academy, Boston Prep, Boston Collegiate, Williamsburg Collegiate, the Academy of the Pacific Rim, Roxbury Prep, North Star Academy, Amistad Academy, and others. The academic year is 174 days long, with an additional ten days of summer school. The school year runs from the third week of August through mid-June. For the sake of our students’ families, which often have other children in Columbus City Schools, we generally follow the district’s schedule for holidays and closures. The school day will begin at 8:40 a.m. with breakfast and homework check; advisory starts at 9:00 a.m., and classes begin at 9:10 a.m. Each class is fifty minutes long, and daily lunch/physical activity lasts forty minutes. Dismissal is at 4:00 p.m. Students who commit disciplinary infractions that warrant a detention—or students who fail to successfully complete all homework assignments—will serve the detention during the lunch hour and/or during the Extension period on Friday afternoons. In an impoverished community, with established schools performing below state averages and students below proficient levels, CCA must redouble efforts to ensure that urban students bridge the gap between their performance and that of their suburban counterparts. We provide two blocks of literacy and math (sixth and seventh grade) per student per day. Daily tutoring and homework support hours bolster this effort for students who require even more instructional and support time. Teachers will have two planning periods each day. Teamwork and grade-level planning are an integral part of the staff culture at CCA. The school year for the staff begins in late July with a four-week summer institute. Students participate in a three-day orientation prior to the beginning of core academic instruction. This orientation introduces students to the culture of high expectations and no excuses at CCA and provides direct inst...
