The approach to curriculum at New Frontiers Charter School is twofold: a traditional academically enhanced component and a component that provides for self development as well as character development of the student. The basis of the curriculum is as follows:
The Academic Requirements
· Grade Level Specific TEKS/TAKS Requirements
· Second Language Acquisition
· Computer Literacy
· Fine Arts Appreciation
· Physical Education
The Enrichment Component
· Character Education
· Self-Development Exploration
· Service Learning Activities
· Project-Based Learning Activities
· Parental Involvement Activities
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.

Elementary
Summer is now over and we have been busy preparing for an exciting new year at New Frontiers Charter School. The teachers have been decorating their rooms and are gearing up to provide an excellent education for your children.
We have a few new team members this year. I would like to welcome Ms. Linda Copeland, Science Intervention, to our team. She is assisting our students and teachers with their scientific inquiries and provides intervention to our 5th graders. We will also have guest scientists, aka Mr. Sonic and Mr. Matter, visit and provide lessons to our students on various science topics throughout the year. We also have Mr. Marc Garza, who joins us from his prior experience in the Special Education team for the Middle School campus. He is serving as our new 4th grade general education teacher. Ms. Rivera, our former Science Intervention teacher, is now a 5th grade Science and Social Studies teacher.
The new theme at our campus is BELIEVE. ACHIEVE. PERFORM. We will be encouraging students to set high expectations for themselves, backing up beliefs with their actions in everything they do.
As always, if you have any questions to your child's education, please feel free to contact me at 589-4033 or come by my room in 105a. Thank you for being an instrumental part of our success at New Frontiers.
