Social Justice Curriculum

The Southside Family Charter School’s social justice curriculum educates children and the larger community about the underlying social problems that foster racism, sexism, classism and homophobia.

By addressing these issues at an early age, SFCS:

Encourages children to see themselves as citizen activists who can change the world.
Helps children avoid internalizing the effects of discrimination by teaching a history of organize dopposition to injustice.

Our social justice curriculum motivates children to:

Think critically
Aspire to the achievement of the role models they study and meet

Our curriculum comes alive with:

Challenging history, world studies and language arts classes.
Individualized math instruction emphasizing hands-on activities.
Biological, physical, earth and environmental science.
Spanish enrichment experiences.
A wide range of electives, including art, drama and sports.
School community-building traditions, including camping trips, a holiday dinner, graduation and an annual musical play.
