We know why students in one classroom excel while others down the hall fail. We understand why a staff at one school seems inspired but another one down the road seems defeated. Our team understands what needs to be done.The Urban Choice Charter School provides Rochester students with a safe, supportive, and intellectually superior educational experience based on New York State Learning Standards.This is not simply our vision. We have seen it done.Our MissionIt is the mission of the Urban Choice Charter School to provide Rochester students with a safe, supportive, and intellectually engaging educational environment.The central philosophy of the Urban Choice Charter School is that strong student-teacher relationships are essential to student motivation and achievement.The school is designed to strengthen these bonds, and as a result, our students will defy the demographic destiny of poverty and exceed state achievement standards.
