monthly meeting spotlight law talk College Prep hearsay The comm. new campus of EAGLE will start with kindergarten through third grade and build out a grade each year.
EAGLE College Prep Elementary School to Offer New Campus in Mesa A public charter school will debut a new campus in late summer—just in time for the next school year. EAGLE (Expecting Academic Greatness with a Loving Emphasis) College Prep: Mesa, at 1619 E. Main St., (between Gilbert and Stapley roads), will initially offer kindergarten through third grades. It will build out a new grade each consecutive school year until it reaches eighth grade. The new campus will join the two existing EAGLE College Prep schools in Phoenix. Tracy Allen is the principal of the new Eagle College Prep. “We believe that college starts in kindergarten. We promote that every child is going to college,” Allen said. “We talk about colleges and research them ... They feel like part of something greater and have some direction. Students on this campus are referred to as scholars by the staff. These scholars are reminded that their decisions now lay the foundation for their future.” The curriculum is a blended learning model and students receive three different types of instruction during the day. “They have whole group instruction with their teacher. Then, they move into smaller groups where they work with an educational assistant that provides very specific remediation or acceleration,” Allen said. “The scholars then move to a oneon-one setting where they are paired with a computer that meets that classifieds

student right where they are. They get on-grade level materials that push them forward using common core standards in reading and math.” Students can progress further at an accelerated pace once they’ve demonstrated the mastery of previously presented materials. “We also have special areas of focus. We have a writing class in which all scholars receive writing instruction with a specialized writing teacher on top of their Language Arts instruction each day,” the principal said. “The second special area is the SEA class which scholars participate in each day. This stands for science, engineering and art. Students also get physical education classes every day. Those classes teach game strategies, team work, cooperation and competition.” Building character is also an important part of the “loving emphasis” of their students’ growth. “We believe that you can’t just have high academics to be successful in your life. You also need good characterbuilding skills. Our school will use The Character Project to instill in our kids an understanding of their identity, purpose, and performance,” Allen said. The new EAGLE College Prep: Mesa is not ready for tours, but families are welcome to tour school facilities at either of the existing South Mountain campuses.
