Mission Statement:
Our Mission is to Create Champions of Academic Excellence, Social Responsibility, Self Expression, and Life-Long Learning through the Arts
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
CHAMPS is much more than just a learning community. It's a way of life: a way of celebrating all that life and the arts have to offer.
School History:
Founded by Dr. Norman Isaacs and a small group of concerned parents in 2005, CHAMPS Charter High School is an independent public high school offering small academic classes including honors and advanced placement, as well as comprehensive academies for dance, drama, film, music, new media and robotics. Students come from diverse backgrounds and a wide geographic area. Kindness and respect for one another predominate on the campus.
Additional Information:
At the heart of CHAMPS’ curriculum is a strong emphasis on academics and every student will be required to maintain a high level of competency in all subjects required for entrance to a state university. With our average student to teacher ratio of 25 to 1, every student will be taught in the most optimum conditions to be able to excel in all subjects, including those that may have challenged them in the past.
Also, what makes CHAMPS so unique is the arts specialties and electives. These offerings are designed to enhance the educational experience of every student, and advance the skills of those training in a specific art form. These students train up to 20 hours per week perfecting their skills, in addition to their rigorous academics. Here is a brief description of CHAMPS’ four academic units that we currently offer:
• Academic Academy
Dedicated to serving the academic student with advanced placement in honors classes available
• Performing Arts Academy
Dedicated to serving students specializing in theater, music and dance
• Robotics Academy
Dedicated to serving students specializing hands-on activities in designing, building and programming robots
• New Media Academy
Dedicated to serving students specializing in digital multimedia, art and design programs
The vision of CHAMPS is based on the premise that most young people want to do well, and given the right tools, can succeed. Principal Baylis and the teachers and staff are dedicated to making CHAMPS a place where students actually thrive on the excitement of being in school.
