Ingenium Charter School\'s systematic approach to ensure student learning is called the Re-Inventing Schools Model (RSM). It features shifting away from time based (grades K, 1, 2 etc) to a performance based student advancement. It has been provided to us by our partner, the Re-Inventing Schools Coalition of Wasilla, Alaska. It was used by the Chugach School District of Alaska when it was one of the first two school districts to win the Malcolm Baldrige Award, the only Presidential award for organizational performance excellence in 2001.
This Re-Inventing Schools Model is effective at getting students to take ownership for their learning. It entails a definite shift away from teacher-directed, to student-centered learning. Students move at their own pace (as fast or as slow as needed) through developmental levels in standards, rather than age-based grade levels. End-of-level assessments demonstrating proficiency will determine a student\'s advancement into the next standard level. Students become the drivers of their education — not the teacher!

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Great school. The staff is very approachable, and clearly cares about the students.
Their motto is College Starts Here, and I see it at every turn.
ICS is the first elementary school with pre college electives. As schools are cutting these sorts of programs, Ingenium has found a way to incorporate Spanish, Business, Law, Nutrition, and tons of other courses.
I couldn't be happier. My daughter has advanced 2 grade levels in one year.
