Our Philosophy |
|
The philosophy and goals of the Project Success Alternative Learning
Center are coherent with that of the state, district and county
school system, in addition to President George W. Bush's No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001 (see it on the left). With that in
mind, our philosophy is centered around the belief that every child
has the inherent right to receive an education commensurate with
his/her needs and abilities. Such education should provide the
student with the skills and ability to solve problems and lead a
productive, socially acceptable, and happy life. We are
committed to serving young people in a positive manner regardless of
circumstances.
A
major function of Project Success is provide instruction and guide
each student so that he/she will be leave the program functioning
satisfactorily in a regular classroom setting. In doing this,
we recognize the importance of actively seeking the advice and
assistance of competent individuals and community agencies.
Furthermore, we believe that the real art of teaching and learning
is best observed through behavioral changes and with that teaching
and guidance, if effective, resulting in each student becoming
productive citizens in society.

What is Project Success? |
|
Project Success is the central location for the Alternative
Learning Center for Lowndes County students who experience
behavioral problems inside the classroom and it also houses the
Acceleration Program designed for students who are experiencing
academic difficulties that has resulted in their failure of one
of more grades; a program, which is our primary focus.
These students therefore, seek an opportunity to attempt to
excel in a smaller classroom environment and accelerate to their
appropriate grade levels through clearly defined program and
curriculum standards.
Location
Project Success is located on the back of the
campuses of Central High and Elementary Schools, perpendicular
to the elementary school cafeteria or adjacent to the Head Start
buildings at 141 Main Street, Hayneville, AL 36040.

The No Child Left Behind Act of
2001 (No Child Left Behind) is a landmark in education
reform designed to improve student achievement and change the
culture of America's schools. President George W. Bush describes
this law as the "cornerstone of my administration." Clearly, our
children are our future, and, as President Bush has expressed,
"Too many of our neediest children are being left behind."
With this in mind, part of our success is based on this
principal; therefore driving us to ensure that none of our
students are left behind.
