Southwest Baltimore Charter School
About the Learning Program
The following tenets have guided our development of curricula and school culture:
Differentiated Instruction – a philosophy of teaching that aims to meet each child where he or she is and move him or her forward
Expeditionary Learning – a curriculum that allows children to use all their senses to construct and retain knowledge through integrated units that allow for in-depth study of a topic from multiple perspectives
Arts Integration – a way to foster students’ artistic skills and self expression through a multitude of art forms while deepening their understanding of academic content\
Choice Theory – an approach to behavior management that teaches children to be intrinsically rather than extrinsically motivated, and guides them in making choices that will lead to personal success
