CORE VALUES: 1. Empowerment: Our community fosters a sense of forward, positive decision making, helping our students develop into leaders through making real choices based in their voices. By empowering them to design the world they want to live in, we assist them on their journey towards future success in college and careers. Jefferson Eagles move forward. CREATE 2. Responsiveness: Our community purposefully infuses expanded access points to learning in recognition of the fact that students of color have been miseducated and unfairly deprived of their right to a liberating education. By building both access and pathways to educational opportunities, we help build our students towards the best we can be. Jefferson Eagles pay attention. CONSIDER 3. Adaptability: Our community encourages students to take risks, learn from failure (“fail forward”), and design a better future using the tools they develop in our learning community. By helping all learners focus both inward and outward, we can transform ourselves and the systems that shape and define our experiences. Jefferson Eagles stay focused/don’t give up. GROW 4. Accountability: Our community takes responsibility for our behavior, both actively and passively. By holding each other accountable and repairing harm we may have caused, we recognize that each of us is more than the worst thing we have ever done. Jefferson Eagles fix their mistakes. ADJUST 5. Interconnectedness: Our community cultivates a positive community founded on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. By creating and implementing non-punitive but strong institutional supports, we ensure that individuals and the connections between them are strengthened as an outcome. Jefferson Eagles work with each other. COOPERATE

Founded in 2011, Better Learning Communities Academy (BLCA), is a tuition-free charter school in St. Louis, Missouri. Located in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the city’s north side, our school serves students by employing a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes academic excellence and character development. BLCA currently serves students from kindergarten through third grade. In the coming years, we will gradually expand our programming to serve students through eighth grade. As a publicly funded charter school, BLCA is open to students throughout the City of St. Louis, but our primary focus is to serve students and families in and around the Hyde Park community. Better Learning Communities Academy’s classrooms are housed in the neighborhood’s historic Bethlehem Lutheran Church school building on Salisbury Street. BLCA was formed as an extension of the work done by Better Living Communities, a nonprofit group that has built hundreds of homes in the Hyde Park neighborhood for low- and moderate-income families. Just as the leadership at Better Living Communities believes that all families deserve access to quality housing, our team at Better Learning Communities Academy believes everyone should have access to a quality education. Educators at BLCA recognize and celebrate the unique needs and learning styles of every student. In order to better meet those needs, we develop Individual Learning Plans (ILP) for every child, and our teachers employ differentiated instruction to better serve students of every achievement level. BLCA sets high expectations for all students, and we actively promote a positive school culture. At BLCA, we believe that family involvement is crucial to the success of students, so we work continuously to engage and interact with the parents and guardians of the students we serve. Our team of educators believes in the importance of using high-quality data to drive our decision-making in every area of operation, from curriculum to budgeting. We also believe that “life-long learning” is not just a goal for our students but for our staff, as well. To that end, our teachers regularly participate in a wide range of professional development activities designed to improve instruction. At BLCA, we believe that education has the power not just to transform a life, but to change the world.
