We welcome you and your child to Beatrice Mayes Institute (BMI) Charter School and to the partnership we will share to educate our children.
The need for quality educational program is great. To help meet this need, the Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School was established. The goals of Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School are:
1. To provide recognition and appreciation of sound learning theories which have been supported by research,
2. Recognition of the obligation to provide citizenship experiences necessary to function in a free American Society,
3. To meet the pupil’s physical, mental, emotional, and social maturation in a rapidly changing culture,
4. And to provide a continuation and development of essential learning.
This booklet is intended to explain our program to you. We hope you will read it carefully and keep it for future reference.
We solicit your cooperation and support and welcome your comments and suggestions.
