Welcome to Gabriella Charter School!
In September of
2005 we opened our doors to one hundred kindergarten
through third graders. This fall we have added a 4th grade
class, increasing our enrollment to 125 students.
Gabriella Charter School (GCS) is a K−5, dance−themed
public elementary charter school, one
of the first of its kind
in the United States. All students take one hour of dance
per day and dance is infused into the standards−based
curriculum.
The mission of the Gabriella Charter School is
to draw
upon the discipline, creativity and cognitive aspects of
dance to engage children to become more active learners
and to enhance academic skill−building by integrating dance
throughout the curriculum. The elementary charter school
offers a challenging and innovative standards−based
curriculum that is complemented by the focus, discipline
and creativity of dance. The curriculum's goal is to
stimulate children to STRETCH, REACH, EXPLORE,
PRACTICE and PERFORM as a means of achieving
excellence in the classroom. Gabriella
Charter School is
committed to providing an educational program that builds
on a child’s natural curiosity and promotes joy in both the
learning process and in the mastery of skills.
