CCLCS Foundation CCLCS Education Foundation The Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting the educational goals of the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School. As a public charter school, CCLCS strives to do more with less income as all building expenses must come out of the school's operating budget. In order to live into our key design elements (Project-Rich Curriculum, Community Connections, Teaching to the Whole Child) financial support is needed. The Foundation provides capital and operational financial support to enhance the learning opportunities and academic excellence of the Charter School, including supporting field trips, seminars, athletics, special events, technology and more. The foundation seeks grants, conducts fundraising activities. and develops a network of support for the Lighthouse Charter School's learning community.

Health & Recreation Overview Health: Grade 6 - Students participate in the Calmer Choice Mindful Awareness curriculum. Other objectives of the Health curriculum include self-esteem, body systems, and drug and alcohol prevention. Grade 7 & 8 - This curriculum covers three areas of personal health - physical, emotional, and social well- being. A major objective is for students to understand that these three areas are interconnected in achieving overall wellness. Classes are discussion-based with various activities, including role play and debate. We strive to make the health classroom a place where students feel safe in talking and learning about their own personal health. Physical Education: All Grades- Connecting with the health class, the Physical Education program focuses on teamwork (social well-being), supportive play (emotional health), fitness (physical health) and fun (all three).

Top of Page About Us Our Mission Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School seeks to provide a supportive and challenging learning environment for middle school students, where teachers foster intellectual development and academic achievement in an atmosphere that celebrates learning as a lifelong pleasure. We appreciate and understand middle school-aged students. We enjoy the often undervalued creativity and intellectual potential of this age group. We strive to provide an emotionally safe and supportive community, encouraging students to develop their strengths and risk new growth, while pursuing an academically rigorous curriculum. Wherever possible, students learn through experience, allowing them to be engaged in the process of discovery and to see the practical applications of classroom lessons. Looking beyond the walls of the classroom, we collaborate with local partners to utilize the unique natural and creative resources on Cape Cod, and reach out to global partners to broaden our cultural understanding and knowledge. Our graduates take with them the values of personal responsibility, consideration for others, respect for the environment, academic integrity, creative expression, and perseverance. Ratified by the Board of Trustees on 5.18.09 School Origins Education Reform Act, Purpose of Charter Schools In 1993, the Massachusetts Legislature passed into law the Education Reform Act, mandating the development of Charter Schools. According to the Education Reform Act, Charter Schools were established to "stimulate the development of innovative programs within public education; to provide opportunities for innovative learning and assessments; to provide parents and students with greater options in choosing schools within and outside their districts; to provide teachers with a vehicle for establishing schools with alternative, innovative methods of educational instruction and school structure and management; to encourage performance-based educational programs; and to hold teachers and school administrators accountable for students' educational outcomes." (M.G.L. Ch. 71, sec. 55, 1993). During school year 1993-94, fourteen charter schools w ere approved, with the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School being one of them.
