Our World Neighborhood Charter School provides education for grades K through 8th with only one school in the district. The building was just remodeled in 2002, and in 2004 a library was added on the second floor. The school district teaches around 600 to 700 students every year. Students learn a strong foundation in liberal arts, along with literature, history, technology, sciences, science, math, art, and music. The Our World Neighborhood Charter School emerged from the parents who saw the need for a school in their neighborhood to better educate their children. |
