Director’s Message
Elmwood Village Charter School began as a vision of a parent living in the Elmwood Village area of Buffalo. She envisioned a small community school that would be able to address the individual learning needs of its students. She assembled a group of educational experts that included veteran teachers, university professors, behavioral experts, and school administrators. Together they used the best available educational research to design a school that would provide students with a stimulating and engaging learning environment.
Today, Elmwood Village Charter School is a vibrant school community that is meeting the academic and social needs of 150 students in the City of Buffalo. The school emphasizes social responsibility, arts integration, multi-culturalism, and community alliances. The school operates with the belief that the social curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum, and children must meet with social success before they can achieve high levels of academic success. The students at Elmwood Village are experiencing this success in an intimate, peaceful, and diverse school community that appreciates different learning styles. At Elmwood Village Charter School students know that they are valued and respected, and that each one of them can contribute to school life.
Our school community is very proud of how much we have been able to accomplish in such a short time. I urge families to come and see our school firsthand. Prospective students and their families are invited to come as guests to tour our school to see our beautiful building and observe the dynamics of learning that take place every day in our classrooms. Please contact the school office at (716) 886-4581 to make arrangements for a visit.
Sincerely yours,
John Sheffield,
Director
