Friendship Tech Charter School of Excellence

The Friendship Tech Charter School of Excellence (FTCSE) will empower students to become aspiring leaders by creating life-long learners, critical thinkers, and problem-solvers through a rigorous interdisciplinary STEM academic program.

FTCSE’s unique curriculum design will address this widening achievement gap by empowering children of Mount Vernon as future leaders and preparing them for college and career readiness. The curriculum will infuse STEM content and careers into rigorous Common Core ELA and math instruction with interdisciplinary inquiry, project, and problem-based scenarios. These lessons will require students to use their prior knowledge, technology, and community resources to solve problems and design solutions.

FTCSE seeks to create a school culture that embraces and encourages family and community involvement. Parenting coaching, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the community will define the complete work of FTCSE. FTCSE will offer a broad range of school, family, and community activities that can engage all parties and help meet student needs.
