Why Nyos Charter School was nominated

NYOS is a PK-12 pre-collegiate charter school that seeks to support the whole student. Through rigorous academics through collaborative teaching and learning strategies and expectations for civic engagement, they ensure students are well-prepared post-graduation. Their educational model focuses on small class sizes, research-based professional learning, field-based experiences, and a commitment to meeting individual students' needs., At NYOS, schooling isn't rigidly organized around age-based grade levels. Instead, students learn in flexible groups based on their personal progress toward subject mastery. An eight-year-old who is advanced in math might work on fractions alongside ten and eleven-year-olds—but if she’s struggling with reading, she might analyze novels with younger students until she moves ahead. This approach centers the needs of its diverse students, especially those who are particularly ahead or behind in a particular subject.
