Global Community Charter School

Global Community Charter School Global Community Charter School (GCCS) is a PreK-8 charter school in Harlem.

Rigorous Curriculum: Based on the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in that the curriculum is theme-based and focused learning experiences where students with diverse backgrounds and languages become inquiring, knowledgeable, and supportive of each other.

• Multiple Forms of Evidence: Performance assessments including projects, portfolios, multimedia pr

esentations, state mandated tests, and written tasks inform instruction and measure progress toward learning goals.

• Integrated Arts: The arts are important areas of learning in the PYP. Students will learn the disciplines of visual arts, music and drama, as well as learning about the arts (the skills and processes involved) and through the arts (artists, perspectives, themes and ideas using the arts).

• Multi-lingual Environment: Since GCCS will focus on recruiting English Language Learners, home language will be supported and sustained along with learning and improving in English language skills.

• Parent Representation: GCCS develops our Parents As Partners Association (PAPA) made up of representatives from each classroom to serve on a Parent Advisory Team (PAT) that meets with school leaders to address issues and concerns that arise as the school year unfolds.

During this a to our Music Teachers: Mr. Hughes (Elementary School) and Ms. Santiago (Middle School).
At GCCS, we believe that MUSIC enables our students to build a strong foundation for learning ~ and life! From improving reading, listening and problem-solving skills, to encouraging a sense of community, connections with other cultures, and teamwork, music helps our students strengthen their self-confidence and self-expression. And all those benefits "sound" great to us!

Getting a great thinking back to the March 12 Middle School Community Circle where students in grades 5 to 8 presented excerpts from the plays they read in Language and Literature during this trimester, including from Greek Mythology and Shakespeare, as well as "Twelve Angry Men" and "A Raisin in the Sun." Parents, along with GCCS staff and students, cheered everyone on!
