· Physical Education
The Enrichment Component
· Character Education
· Self-Development Exploration

The New Frontiers Charter School provides a learning environment that contributes to student success by encouraging parents to play an active role in decision-making, character building, and providing a home environment that encourages academic success. In turn, the school will provide a rigorous curriculum, effective and supportive teachers, and state-of-the-art materials and technology to ensure that we are on the cutting edge and that your child receives the greatest benefit. This "Partnership in Success" will ensure a well-rounded and successful student who is a lifelong learner and productive citizen.

 Spring has brought us a renewed sense of energy in the elementary school. We are anxiously awaiting our TAKS testing day taking place the last week of April so we can show off our skills. Speaking of showing off our skills, we were so happy to welcome a large crowd of parents and students to our “Are you smarter than a 5th grader?” Math Night. The students prevailed and proved that they know their stuff when it comes to Elementary Math! Our next academic night will be held on Tuesday, May 6th. Our students will present their Science Fair projects in the main hallway at 6pm that evening.
We have been working diligently with our 5th grade Science curriculum and I would like to welcome Ms. Susan Rivera to our team. She is assisting our students and teachers with their scientific inquiries and provides intervention to our 5th graders. We also have a guest scientist, aka Mr. Sonic, visit and provide lessons to our students on various science topics throughout the year.
As always, if you have any questions to your child’s education, please feel free to contact me at 889-6242 or come by my room in 105a. Thank you for being an instrumental part of our success at New Frontiers.
