Quality
Education
. . . Caring Heart
The HCYR Charter System offers a quality choice in educational opportunity. The system
is spread over three state-of-the-art campuses -- the Ed Brune High
School and the Ed Brune Middle School at the Big Springs Ranch near
Leakey, and the Cailloux Elementary
School at the HCYR campus in Ingram -- which together cover grades 1 - 12.
The educational
philosophy of the Charter Schools follows guidelines established by
TEA,
outlined in the Texas Behavioral Support Initiative (TBSI). This
approach stresses the importance of relationship, encouragement and
positive reinforcement for students. Professional
counselors and other specialists are available
throughout the day to offer support and assistance
in academic, emotional, social and behavioral areas.
The HCYR Charter Schools consistently surpass the strict academic performance standards of
the Texas Education Agency. Students typically advance 1.5 years academically for each year
of enrollment in one of the Charter Schools, making this an excellent choice
for children whose academic deficits must be overcome for their
timely graduation from high school, or whose emotional needs require a time
of healing before re-entering a mainstream classroom in the local public
system.
. . . the public school system may be intent on universal education,
but every flower does not
bloom at the same time.
