About Our School
PUC Inspire Charter Academy is proud to be the 15th PUC School. Like all of our sister schools, PUC Inspire is grounded in one mission: to graduate students prepared for high school and college success. In order to track our progress towards this mission, we have created three commitments: five times more college graduates in the communities we serve, after four years with us students are proficient, and students commit to uplift their communities now and forever. These commitments serve as a guide to our daily work: any and all decisions we make should support our students in meeting our three commitments. Our philosophy for behavior and academic support is that every PUC Inspire student deserves the opportunity and challenge of growing every day. All behavior and academic support is grounded in the following growth cycle: learn, reflect, change course and practice new skills. This growth mindset is not only instilled in our students but also modeled by our teachers. In our 7th year, teachers have focused on collaborative, inquiry driven units that highlight student engagement, academic discourse, and the infusion of technology as a vehicle for learning. PUC Inspire firmly believes that learning takes place in community. Teachers collaborate as a grade level team to ensure all students’ needs are met, particularly those who are English Learners or students with IEPs. Parents and extended family members are our most critical partners in helping our school achieve our goals. Together, we believe every student can grow every day.
This year provides yet another opportunity for PUC Inspire to be a positive impact on the community. We are very fortunate to have multiple generations of family members attend our school. The small charter school setting allows for staff to know our students well and support them effectively both in behavior and academics. Despite the challenges created with Distance Learning last year, the school continued to be committed to every student’s education. We also worked diligently to ensure that every family had what they needed in order for their student to be engaged daily in our instructional program. As we return to campus this school year, we are focused on identifying academic and behavioral needs for each student and adjusting instruction as well as our programming to meet those needs.
