Renaissance

Renaissance isn't a program. It's a process that encourages academic excellence, improvement, and citizenship.

Renaissance schools often focus their program on four-target areas:

* Increasing student attendance
* Improving overall academic performance
* Increasing graduation rates
* Creating a positive, safe school environment

The demands and desires of students of the new millennium are changing as the world changes around them. They are on a constant quest to discover uplifting experiences, belong to something greater, build strong and unique identities, and to find success. This is achieved by recognizing the efforts and achievements of teachers and students and rewarding their academic performance through incentives from the school and community.
