Our Academic Promise

High Quality Instruction

Darnall Charter School has developed an instructional program that provides optimal support for our students. Our students will develop skills and abilities that will prepare them for college and the workforce. Our program is built on the premise that learning occurs best in supportive learning environments that foster active engagement.

Universal Design for Learning
We continue to refine our teaching methods to remove any barriers to learning and give all students equal opportunities to succeed. We adjust instruction to every student’s strengths and needs. We are working toward offering lessons in more than one way, giving students more ways to interact with the material and to show what they’ve learned and looking for multiple ways to motivate students!

Culturally Responsive Teaching
Culturally responsive teaching is used to ensure students feel a sense of belonging. Students are more engaged in the learning process when instruction is presented in the context of their personal experience or perspective.

1:1 Technology, Instructional Technology and Resources
Darnall’s primary goal for the use of technology, is to support the learning needs of all students. Technology is another option for providing students with a means to access the curriculum.

And then, there's our AMAZING Garden Classroom!

Our Garden Classroom is a place for students to GROW!

Darnall's Garden Classroom is here to provide a space for students to

learn healthier eating habits- as they will be closely involved in growing their food from planting to harvest.

We want students to explore and investigate plants and animals in a garden ecosystem to support their learning in the classroom.

We also encourage our students to share their knowledge and harvest with our school community and families.

Most importantly, we want our school community to understand how to be good stewards of our natural environment.

At Darnall,

Parents Stay Connected. Always.

We know parents want to know EVERYTHING. Darnall teachers interact with our parents with regular updates, parent/teacher conferences, progress reports- so, parents always know how their child is doing!

We encourage all our parents to become part of the vibrant parent community!
