Mission

The mission of the PRIDE academy is to provide a learning environment where all students will learn and exhibit the academic knowledge, skills, and behavior necessary to facilitate a successful transition into the high school community.

Beliefs

•  Our core business is teaching and learning.
•  All students can learn and create quality work.
•  Students need a positive, safe, and supportive environment for successful learning.
•  A quality education is the shared responsibility of the child, family, school, and community.
•  Academic achievement in the ninth grade creates a foundation for a successful high school career.
•  Effective instruction includes a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum with real-world applications.

The PRIDE academy is designed to meet the unique academic needs of the 9^th grade learner.  Students are placed on academic teams that deliver instruction in the four core academic areas-math, language arts, social studies, and science.  Students on each team receive rigorous instruction in each of these core academic areas as well as engage in interdisciplinary instruction that provides connections among subject areas and real-world applications.
