A charter school group is opening three new campuses in Texas for 2018-19.
ResponsiveED says the additional campuses will bring to 74 the number of charter schools that the non-profit company operates in the Lone Star State.
The new schools:
•Classical Academy - Permian Basin, in Midland. The K-8 school will have a classical approach focused on civics, character education, hands-on scientific observations, rigorous mathematics, and an appreciation of learning history, art, music and poetry.
•Founders Classical Academy of Frisco, In Frisco. The K-8 school is the first ResponsiveEd campus in Frisco. The company says its Founders Classical Academies "seek to provide an excellent and distinctive classical education that pursues knowledge, promotes virtue, and prepares students for prosperous lives in a free society."
•Premier High School - San Angelo, in San Angelo. The school is meant for students looking to recover credits at their own pace in a small and safe learning environment, as well as students who would like to graduate early. It serves students in grades nine through 12 and older students up to age 26.
“As we continue to grow and expand, we look forward to being able to serve more students in our local communities,” says ResponsiveEd Vice President of School Activations Anthony Edwards. “We’re excited to provide families with the opportunity to choose what kind of education is right for their children.”
In addition to its Texas schools, ResponsiveEd has three schools in Arkansas.
