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

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.

 Second graders have been very busy as we near the end of the year!
In Reading we have begun a new unit on courage.In this unit we are learning that being brave doesn’t always meanhave to be superheroes.We demonstrate courage through honesty and treating others with respect.
In Math we have continued to practice our basic fact skills, problem solving, and addition with, multiplication, fractions, and three dimensional shapes. In Science, we have examined plants, animals, as well as the earth and its features.
Lastly, we would like to encourage everyone to read, read, and read every night! Reading is the key that opens many doors!
