We explore interests beyond academics.
Social Emotional Learning
Enrichment and Specials
Authentic Relationships
Sports and Clubs
Academic success alone, is not enough. We support our scholars in cultivating the skills and character strengths needed to build healthy relationships with themselves and others, developing the tools that will help them navigate through life beyond the classroom.
Our specials program encourages scholars to express themselves through the joy of visual arts, music, and physical education. Summer enrichment programs and annual field trips extend learning outside the four walls of our classrooms.
Together, we’re stronger. Our scholars are surrounded with an engaged and supportive community of family, teachers, leaders and peers. Every Friday students and faculty come together to celebrate each others’ achievements, and examine our core values.
PAVE offers scholars a variety of after-school programs and clubs – from the Charter School Athletic League and CitySquash – to dance, cheerleading and double-dutch. Clubs offer valuable lessons around the importance of practice, accountability, teamwork and fun.
Building citizens and scholars.
Humanities: Reading, Writing, Literature & History
At PAVE we foster a deep love for reading. Our scholars choose their own books from our beautiful libraries and enjoy independent reading time daily because we know reading is at the heart of a meaningful and successful life. In all of our subjects, scholars learn new ideas through rich books and articles and explain their own ideas through writing. By creating lifelong readers and writers, we prepare our students to be thoughtful and engaged citizens.
Developing problem-solvers.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)
PAVE’s inquiry-based STEM program supports scholars in developing the critical thinking skills needed to engage real-world problems. Scholars learn the operations of mathematics by building computational fluency. In science, scholars engage complex ideas, identifying problems, designing solutions, testing and defending them.
