Effie Kokrine Charter School
Thematic Curriculum
New Program Bridges High School, College and Culture
Excerpt: "
It used to be that before you
went to college you had to graduate from high school. However, the lines
between high school and college are no longer
easily demarcated by grade level, age, or institutional affiliation. While
older adults have the opportunity to acquire a high school diploma through
programs such as the GED, young adults now have the opportunity to pursue
college-level degrees and certificates while still enrolled in high school."
A new school, a strong foundation
This article is in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner printed May 18, 2005
Excerpt: "
On Aug. 18, Effie Kokrine Charter School will open for students in grades 7
through 12 from a wide range of backgrounds and academic interests. The curriculum
will help students understand the role of culture in their lives, as well
as prepare them for academic success."
Final Proposal
Excerpt: "As early as 2002, a group of educators interested
in starting a charter school based
on a foundation of Alaska Native history and culture began meeting
to discuss
this possibility. The group included parents, teachers, elders, and representatives
from many
of
the agencies
and organizations
that serve
Native children
and
families. Several community meetings
were held in Fairbanks. "
