We believe that, regardless of a child's prior experiences in education, that every child has opportunities. It is our joy to explore those opportunities with each of our students!

We believe that hands-on and dialogue-based learning, coupled with a rigorous span of writing throughout the year fosters a deep connection with our students. The “aha” moment that occurs for a child is the ultimate reward for our educators. Our students are typical in that they enjoy school and all that it has to offer, but they are unique in their opportunities to build one-on-one, meaningful relationships with their teachers at E.C.H.O. Charter.

We believe that students can give themselves “permission” to learn. So often, kids don’t know that they possess the natural ability to initiate their own investigations into things that interest them—literature, art, history, social movements, and other areas. Fortunately our Project-Based Learning platform is one of the ways that students can dive in and earn credit by embracing the subjects they love, and by building belief in their own desire to gain knowledge.

Our goal is to continue building on our 25 year traditions of fostering deeper inquiry in learning, and to building an intensive movement toward our learners striving in both academic and personal success.
