What should a School Look like?
The Mission of Bayou Community Academy is to educate community servants for the future of our society. The mission of the Bayou Community Academy is to guide students through an enriching and challenging humanities, fine arts, technology, mathematics, and science curriculum that are designed to prepare students for the future, making them lifelong learners, change agents, powerful communicators, and good citizens. Bayou Community Academy is a place where children will come to learn and learn to serve.
The vision of the Bayou Community Academy is to be a school whose curriculum is centered in a virtuous character development program as the foundation of a safe, orderly, and encouraging school environment. The program of the school will promote a spirit of compassion for others, loyalty within the community, and sacrifice. The vision of the school will work to build a community that provides the opportunity for students, teachers, parents, and stakeholders to learn, lead, and serve society.
The philosophy is that a changing environment needs students adapted to a state of change, who are going to be agents of change for the future. The philosophy is one that combines the best of today with the best of the past. Our philosophy is sensitive to the reality that we live in a shifting society often referred to as “post modern”, which includes a clear sense of ongoing and regular change. Historically such change agents were taught in a literature rich environment that emphasized building a matrix for learning. We will couple that with the basic building blocks of education preparing the students to engage the world confidently with logic, reason, and deduction. Inquiry based learning will teach students to read for meaning, discussing with other students to share, and learn from the ideas of others. In this environment students are learning that there is more than one right answer to many issues. They are learning how change helps foster understanding and encourages the drive to dig deeper for meaning in text and life experiences.
Our values represent a combination of universal values of society, unique local cultural values, and historical values. Our expressed values are not exhaustive, but reflect ideas expressed by dozens of scholars over the ages and those embraced by citizens of our community, state, and the nation since its earliest beginning. They are to be understood as foundational core elements of the school, the curriculum, and the disposition of the students, parents, teachers, and leadership of the school.
