Philosphy

The Philosphy of Inspiration of Education Charter School
In the Inspiration of Education Charter School community we are strong believers of Essentialism and Progressivisim. Here at IEC we feel as though students should learn the basics first then be taught leadership and how to manage task their self. We believe that being essentialist is a very important part of growing up. Reason for this belief is because things that are required to learn and know being an essentialist are the things that are needed in everyday life and will be meaningful and helpful in many ways. In our major classes at IEC is where most of the teaching of essentialism is taught. These classes are English which includes finiding main ideas and learning writing tecniques and building vocabulary, Mathimatics which includes learning and memorizing multiplication, addition, subtraction, and division, also Science which includes being taught the basic scientific method and periodic table.After learning the basics we feel as though students should learn how to center their learnings around their intrest, but according to the School District of Philadelphia learning requirements. We also believe being a Progressivist is also a very important part of growing up and adapting to the real world. Our teaching staff give students the chance to experienceof learning how to enhance their lives. Progressivism is taught in our elective classes. The elective classes at IEC are Lab where students conduct science experiements from scratch, and Art class where students create murals based on their own ideas and drawling techniques.
