A NEW ERA
A NEW APPROACH
ROSA Is More Than A SCHOOL
WE ARE A COMMUNITY UNITED IN A COMMON CALLING TO AWAKEN YOUNG MINDS. WE ARE ON A MISSION TO CELEBRATE UNIQUENESS, PROMOTE INDIVIDUALITY, AND INSPIRE CURIOSITY, COURAGE, AND COMPASSION.
LEARNING BEGINS WITH CURIOSITY. BY PROVIDING A PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY SAFE SPACE, AN INCLUSIVE ATMOSPHERE, AND A SENSE OF BELONGING, WE EARN THE STUDENTS’ TRUST AND MOTIVATE THEM TO ADOPT A SELF-DISCOVERY PROCESS. THIS CRITICAL PRACTICE NURTURES CONFIDENCE, DEVELOPS KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPANDS OPPORTUNITIES.
OUR STUDENTS WERE DISCOURAGED BY A SYSTEM THAT FAILED TO REPRESENT THEIR VOICES, DISMISSED DISABILITIES, AND LABELED THEM “LESS THAN” CAPABLE. HEALING TRAUMA AND AWAKENING POTENTIAL REQUIRES COURAGE. WE HAVE FOUND THAT FOSTERING AN EQUITABLE AND REPRESENTATIVE SPACE AND FORGING STRONG STUDENT/EDUCATOR BONDS FACILITATES A RE-ENGAGEMENT WITH ACADEMICS, AN EMBRACE OF SELF, AND A CELEBRATION OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEOPLE.
FINALLY, LEARNING REQUIRES THE ABILITY TO GRASP A RANGE OF PERSPECTIVES. AS SUCH, ROSA PARKS CULTURE HONORS RESPECT AND INSTILLS COMPASSION. OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH ADDRESSES ACADEMIC, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL, AND BEHAVIORAL LEARNING EQUALLY. WE KNOW THAT FORMING AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS IMPROVES THE STUDENTS’ SELF-ESTEEM AND BOLSTERS PROSPECTS FOR SUCCESS IN THE WORLD.
