About School of Arts and Sciences at The Centre
Students at the School of Arts and Sciences at The Centre do not receive traditional letter grades. Each child keeps a portfolio of tests, journal entries, homework and performance graphs that teachers and students use to measure growth. We are one of two tuition-free public charter schools run by the School of Arts and Sciences Foundation in Tallahassee, serving kindergarten through eighth grade on North Monroe Street. The program began as a charter in 1999, founded by local educators and parents.
Multi-age classes, each led by two certified teachers, are grouped K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and a combined middle school for grades 6 to 8. Units are project-based, with microscopes, labs and campus gardens for science, and field work through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Florida State University's biology department. Middle schoolers can join a mentor program with FSU's High Magnetic Laboratory and the Challenger Learning Center. Chorus, band, theater, art and "Friday Sing!" assemblies put students on stage.
Our Extended Day Program covers 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 3:10 to 6:00 p.m., with scholarships tied to free and reduced lunch. Contracted buses serve stops across Leon County.
