Our mission is to provide a school culture that produces students who think critically, problem solve creatively, become self-disciplined, know how to learn, and who understand that the goal of life is to serve a cause larger than one’s self. A positive school climate results from a culturally relevant classroom that fosters:
Self motivation in students
A caring, committed faculty, who connect instruction to everyday life situations
An emphasis on norms not rules
An enriched physical environment aligned with the schools mission, vision and values
Integration of the arts and character education in lesson planning
A technologically up-to-date classroom environment
Before- and after-school program to provide time for enrichment activities, such as clubs and sports and additional academic support if needed (Please note that transportation to and from the before- and after-school program is not provided by Monarch Academy Baltimore and is the responsibility of the parent.) Transformation Education
Monarch Academy’s positive school culture results from an innovative school management model, Transformation Education (TranZed). TranZed creates a brain-compatible organizational culture that teaches the key values, skills and beliefs for students to have a successful life: caring, contribution, commitment, vision, courage and will. The TranZed philosophy focuses on the thinking and behavior of its faculty as a primary determinant of student success. If a student struggles to learn by a particular teaching method, our faculty will change their behavior and methods to better engage and teach the student. Monarch Academy also is committed to academic excellence. Our instructional approach results from using six evidence-based practices.
