- Parental Engagement and Involvement
-
Parents have a strong influence on their children. Their involvement plays a crucial role in their child's academic performance when they are involved in their children's school life.
- Community Transformation and Involvement
-
"Educating the future of all children"
Many polls and surveys indicate that Americans identify education to be one of the top leading domestic issues. Specifically, the concern is not only reforming public schools but achieving academic success for all students. Azusa is no exception to this challenge and the need for community transformation.
- Student Support
-
"Because students are more than a test score"
There are many factors that will motivate, support and engage student learning in classrooms. External factors varying from socio-economic, school structure, home environment to issues relating to safety may impede on learning. However, a very critical factor in learning is the student's willingness to learn.
