Stay Tuned...




Students in CORE Charter School have been working on several different videos.

We were fortunate to be provided with multiple flip cameras which allow the students to create their own videos. More will be posted.

Stay tuned for the 1st Annual CORE Cinematic Awards.

Employability & Personal Narrative (storytelling)

Over the next 5 weeks, students in CORE Charter School will participate in unit which will examine 5 different areas:

1. Work Ethic






2. Communication




3. Collaboration

4. Critical Thinking/Problem Solving

5. Social Responsibility

Students will examine each area through personal narrative AKA storytelling. I'm hoping several guest speakers will come into our school and share their story. If you have any questions about what is going on- please let us know.
