Springfield Academy of Excellence
We are a COMER School
Springfield Academy of Excellence is proud to be a Comer school (Dr. James Comer, Yale University) that believes maximum academic achievement for all students happens when:
- Developmental needs of the whole child are met;
- Students are given adequate time to master skills (different children require different amounts of time to learn);
- Extra instructional time is devoted to numeracy and literacy skills because success in all other subjects is dependent on the mastery of these basic skills.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy emphasizes building strong relationships with parents, students, staff, and community. The relationship begins with transparency—all stakeholders are encouraged to be aware of every aspect of our school. We even have a parent who is a voting member of the governing board. The lead parents shares school information with other parents during Parent Team meetings. A parent is also part of our School Planning and Management Team.
