ASPIRA North Youth Leadership
Charter School
The ASPIRA North Youth Leadership Charter School is an "independent
public school" located in North Miami, Florida. We serve
more than 250 students in grades six to nine whose parents have
chosen to leave the traditional public school environment for
our smaller teacher-student ratio and caring faculty and staff.
This environment provides clear guidelines for a safe, orderly,
and disciplined school and helps to ensure academic achievement.
The student population is ethnically
diverse, reflecting the areas multi-cultural population.
The demographic composition is approximately 54 percent male
and 46 percent female. The racial/ethnic breakdown is: Blacks
44%, Hispanics 47%, Whites 7%, and Others 2%.
Our school provides students with a safe learning
environment, which is culturally sensitive and encourages students
to develop their academic and personal potential through the
ASPIRA Process of Youth Leadership Development. We encourage
and expect that teachers, parents, youth and community will work
together to that end. As a result of the cultural diversity of
the North Miami community, the ASPIRA Youth Leadership Charter
School is sensitive to the historical contributions of all ethnic
and racial groups.
Of prime importance to our faculty and staff
is the development of students academic and personal potential.
The school implements educational and related programs, setting
forth the schools curriculum, instructional methods, and
many distinctive instructional techniques to be used. It creates
an environment that encourages students to improve, as well as
increase, their own potential by focusing on the educational
strengths and needs of the students. In addition, through Leadership
classes, students participate in the ASPIRA "AAA Process"
of Awareness, Analysis and Action. The ASPIRA Club Federation (ACF), a student government, and the School Advisory Council,
a parent-teacher-student organization, help students develop
and strengthen leadership skills.
