Our Mission and Vision

New Visions Charter High Schools (NVCHS) provide all students, regardless of their previous academic history, the highest quality education in an atmosphere of respect, responsibility and rigor. We ensure that our students have the skills and knowledge to graduate ready for college, pursue a career, and engage with the 21st century economy. We develop learning experiences that allow risk-taking, cultivate students' imaginative and creative abilities, and celebrate achievement. Through an intensive study of math concepts in our math and science schools, and literature, English, social studies and arts in our humanities schools, students learn how to generate research questions, develop the skills necessary to answer those questions, create products that demonstrate understanding, and defend their knowledge publicly.
Purpose
  • To promote and enhance the overall academic mission by providing services that strengthen home, school, and community partnerships and alleviate barriers to learning.
  • To determine the needs and interests of students and present options for development both outside of school and within the school program to maximize the likelihood that students will achieve long-term goals and reach their maximum potential.
Essential Functions
  • Effectively and appropriately assess and address the needs, characteristics, and interactions of students, families, and community.
  • Use knowledge and understanding of the reciprocal influences of home, school, and community to intervene for student success via such practices as assessment, crisis intervention, home visits, conflict resolution, individual and group counseling, consultation, program development, dropout prevention, and coordination of school and community services.
  • Advocate for appropriate services for students and their families.
  • Consult and collaborate with stakeholders on behalf of students and their families.
  • Effectively plan, implement, and evaluate programs that promote student and family success.
  • Use assessment and evaluation results to develop appropriate interventions for students, families, schools and communities.
  • Develop long-term and short-term intervention plans consistent with curriculum, with students’ needs, strengths, diversity and life experiences, and with other social and emotional factors.
  • Provide services to students in ways that build upon individual strengths and offer students maximum opportunities to participate in the planning and direction of their own learning experience.
  • Provide appropriate follow-up to ensure that students’ needs are being met.
  • Act as a point of contact for outside organizations working with students and their families.
