Why Civics is the Essential Course
We’re living in a highly politicized world. Education itself is a political act. Schools’ mission statement across the country promise the development of productive, responsible and engaged citizens. Ironically, less than twenty-five percent of eighth graders in the U.S. are proficient in Civics, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
It’s furthermore disconcerting that the congressionally mandated project doesn’t require that an assessment of civic literacy be administered in twelfth grade, the point in life when students are entering the world as young adults. How is this progress?
How is a man or woman supposed to participate in political processes or engage in civic activity in meaningful ways towards the ends of liberty and happiness, without civic education? SĀHGE Academy’s Civic Education curriculum is a social learning experience in which students engage in service learning, action civics and discussion to demonstrate proficiency.
FAQS
Are classes online or onsite?
Currently, students meet onsite in New Haven (Connecticut) between 9:30AM and 3PM, Mondays through Thursdays. Accepting that virtual is the new normal, we maintain a safe, innovative and engaging learning and social management system for students to interact with one another and for Applied SAHGE Seminar facilitators who prefer to meet virtually.
Would my family have to pay the full tuition for a sibling?
No, we offer a discounted tuition rate for multiple enrollments from within the same household or family. Please note that a one-time administrative fee is charged annually, per student. This fee is reduced for returning students and siblings.
How do I keep track of my child’s academic performance?
Our assessment of student performance and knowledge acquisition is formative, and our assessment of student mastery in a given area of study is project and creation based. Parents and caregivers are granted full access to our learning management system (LMS). The LMS posts learning experiences, student submissions, teacher feedback, and educational resources. As educational partners, we support each other in facilitating students’ personal, academic and civic achievement. Our Collegiate Life Counselors work with families whose students are choosing the path to college, to meet the requirements of the post-secondary institutions into which admission is sought.
What is a Social Management System (SMS)?
Accepting that virtual is the new normal, we maintain an innovative and engaging social learning community. Our community- when not physically together- is embedded in our website, as a safe alternative to social media platforms like FaceBook particularly. Children are guaranteed a safe environment, free from predators, judgment, bullying and pressure to conform. Parents of enrolled students are designated as moderators to monitor the youth feed. Adults are uncensored in our discussions. Parents and teachers are able to connect with one another, ensuring that communications, information and notifications are constant, timely and consistent.
