The Children's School of Rochester School No. 15

Half of the students at The Children’s School are English language learners from other countries who bring a variety of cultural traditions and life experiences which enrich instruction for all students. We also have a unique school governance which includes staff, families, administrators, and community partners working collaboratively in shared decision making. Families are invited to attend our school-wide “Morning Briefings” (assemblies) which celebrate students’ learning and their accomplishments.

• Extracurricular activities provide opportunities for families and community partners to work collaboratively in shared decision making. This includes the PTO and school work groups that provide school governance.
• Families are invited to participate in “Morning Briefings,” which are assemblies and/or celebrations that provide an opportunity for students to share their accomplishments and establish a firm literacy foundation.
• English as a New Language (ENL) services support students’ academic needs. Half of the students in this school are from other countries and bring a variety of cultural traditions and life experiences which enrich instruction for all students. These are celebrated and shared at frequent school events for students, families, and community partners.
• Parents and guardians who are learning English as a new language are invited to join our Family Literacy Program.
