Arts Instruction

Visual Arts engages scholars in a tactile creative process to promote social-emotional, kinesthetic and interdisciplinary learning. Music and Movement is the place where scholars make the connection between mind and body, between cerebral and physical. Performing Arts provides scholars a stage to find their voices. Scholars express themselves creatively through the arts while gaining self-confidence for presentations and public speaking.

Academics

Literacy & Writing

Ethos Classical is excited to offer both an asynchronous Computer Science and Spanish curriculum where scholars will be able to opt into one of the curriculum for the entirety of the school year. Scholars engage in formal writing each day. We prepare scholars to be able to confidently approach narrative, informational, and opinion writing. Scholars engage in phonics, spelling, and reading comprehension. We use the Lifelong Readers curriculum for Guided Reading instruction, and Lexia for blended learning.

Math Fluency focuses on scholars’ automaticity in solving math problems. Scholars are given fluency assessments periodically throughout the year to monitor their progress. Math CGI engages scholars in their ability to solve word problems, and apply math concepts to real life situations. Scholars use manipulatives and tangible strategies to show their math thinking skills. Math Conceptual Development focuses on scholars’ conceptual understanding in Math.

Welcome to Ethos Classical Charter School!

As the Founder of Ethos, it is my joy to welcome you to our small and mighty school. There are so many things that make Ethos magical, but without a doubt, our community is what makes us extraordinary.

At Ethos Classical, education is about ensuring excellence in academics while nurturing the whole child. Ethos was founded to provide a choice for families seeking a high quality, research-based environment with a focus on literacy and the arts. Through a two-teacher per classroom model, Ethos equips scholars with a firm foundation for academic success throughout their life. Daily arts instruction, including studio arts, music, dance, and drama underpins achievement across all content areas and equips scholars with the discipline, creativity, and independence for a full and happy life.

We invite you to come visit our beautiful campus nestled in Sylvan Hills. Ours is a vibrant community of scholars who are learning, growing, and achieving through our challenging and supportive culture.

With urgency and eagerness,
