Canada Charter School – Media Portal
New article from Katya Fedyanina, 5b. This time, Katya interviewed her sister, who is studying in Canada! Read it, it’s interesting.
We all probably want to know how children study abroad. My 10 year old cousin Sofa lives in Canada. And I decided to interview her.
Banner | Schools
– Hello Sofa! Tell me, please, where do you study?
Hello! I am an FFCA charter school student in 5th grade in Calgary.
In Canada, schools are divided into paid (private) and free, which, in turn, are public, charter and Catholic. Every child can enter the public school, depending on the area of residence, but the level of education in such schools is considered not very high. Non-religious families interested in a good free education tend to send their children to charter schools. They need to be enrolled from birth and successfully pass an interview at the age of five. If for some reason you were not enrolled in infancy, you can get into a charter school either through a “waiting list” (you will have to wait 5-7 years) or by winning the annual school lottery. FFCA (http://www.ffca-calgary.com/) is the largest charter school in Canada and one of the largest in North America.
Sofa and her best friend Melisha
— Can you describe your day in detail?
– Classes start at 8:34: Spanish, English, Maths. Then – a walk for 1 hour, lunch, reading for 30 minutes, a class in Canadian geography, physical education.
School ends at 15:08.
How do you get to school and back home?
— By bus. It’s a lot of fun to ride in it. We are sitting with a friend. We were seated like this at the beginning of the year. You can’t sit in someone else’s place, otherwise they will scold.
— Do you have one teacher for all subjects?
— Basic subjects, including physical education, are taught by our class teacher. Other teachers are only in drawing and music.
What items do you have?
– Science (Science), mathematics, something like Canadian studies.
– Canadian Studies?
– About the regions of Canada.
— Do you have a foreign language?
— Yes, we have been studying Spanish since the 4th grade. You cannot select a language.
— What do you do in English?
— We are given vocabulary words, we learn them, and then we pass them in the form of a test. Until grade 5, these were very different words, from grade 5 they are often tied to a topic studied in Science.
-What are your favorite subjects?
– Science and mathematics. In science, we are now studying electricity, and in mathematics, division by a column.
– Do you have a literature lesson?
-No, every day we have a special time for reading – 30 minutes. You can sit in the classroom and read any book, taken in our office or brought with you.
— Can I do something else at this time?
— If you have something to complete in other subjects, you can ask.
Do you discuss the books you read?
— No. We do projects. Each person presents his project in front of the class, for example, about favorite characters, a scene you like, you can mold the scene of the work from plasticine. After each presentation, classmates write reviews. You read them on your own and think about what else you need to work on.
— Are projects read-only?
— No, still in science, Canadian studies.
How many students are in the class?
– Twenty-six.
We sit at desks of three.
– Does the composition of the class change often?
— Every year. We indicate three people with whom we want to continue studying next year. But, unfortunately, our wishes are rarely taken into account.
— What do you think, why such a strange order?
– Probably so that we can study with any people, and not just with friends.
— What parts is your academic year divided into?
— For trimesters.
— How are term grades calculated?
– They give us a map report. Some subjects, such as math, are graded as a percentage based on the results of tests that we write during the trimester. Then the percentages are converted to letters. The highest grade is A plus. This is if you scored above 92%.
School bell schedule
— And the lowest one?
I don’t know. Below B minus I did not receive. Other items are graded from E (Excellent) to F (Failed). G stands for Good, VG stands for Very good.
— Do you have exams?
— Not yet. But we have very difficult tests throughout the year. Those whose grades at the end of fourth grade were below 50% were asked to stay for a second year to complete the program again and move on to the next grade painlessly.
Are they upset?
— No, it doesn’t matter in high school. But depending on the grades for the 8th grade, the level of the subject that you will study in the 9th grade is assigned. You can enter the university only with 1 or 2 levels. If you have the lowest level 4, you must first pass it, then take 3, and then – 2 or 1.
– What kind of extracurricular activities do you have?
– The main emphasis on sports – football, volleyball, gymnastics. There is a literature club for freaks.
— Where do you go?
— I want to play badminton, but I probably won’t be able to make it because of the dancing.
— Do you stage performances?
Yes, sometimes.
In the 4th grade there was a concert for parents. Someone played in the play, someone sang songs.
— And when are the rehearsals? After lessons?
— No, you can participate in rehearsals instead of walking.
– Wait! Do you have a walk every day?
Yes.
— Great! What else can be said! Do any of you have tutors?
— Yes, we rehearse in music, we sing songs.
— Yes, no. Not those tutors. I meant those that help to pull up, say, mathematics, if you have problems. They work with them at home.
— No, I have never heard of such people.
— So you don’t have any tutors?!
— No. But if there are problems at school, the walk time can be used to go to a special room. There are high school students who can help with any subject.
— Great! Do they give a lot of homework?
— In mathematics, they give examples that you must solve during the week at home. Still need to read every day.
And learn the words in English.
– Approximately how long does it take to do homework?
– If it is very, very much – then about an hour, if not enough – then half an hour (for reading).
– Lucky. What about parents? How do they participate in class life?
Yes. Each family is given twenty volunteer hours to spend in the classroom. Let’s say you can take the kids to the zoo. My older brother gave us a whole science lesson where we did physics experiments.
— Are parents checked somehow?
— Yes, all families prepare a report on volunteer hours during the year.
— Cool. Incredibly interesting. Thank you very much for the interview. See you in Skype. Hello cat Alice (@al.ice3293)!
I think everyone can decide for himself whether he would like to study in a Canadian school or not. Personally, I would like to study at this school for a while, trying something new is always interesting. An hour of walking, a little homework and half an hour of reading seem very attractive.
But, in my opinion, it is wrong that classes are disbanded every year. If our school had such a system, it would be stressful for me, because I am very attached to my friends.
Poll:
Would you like to study at a Canadian charter school?
- Very.
- No way, I’m dedicated to my school.
- I’m just curious to try.

New Pennsylvania Charter Performance Center Leads the Way to Improve Charter Education Policy
PRESS RELEASE

New Pennsylvania Charter Activity Center Leads to Improved Charter Education Policy
PHILADELPHIA (January 13, 2021) – In Pennsylvania, enrollment in charter schools has nearly doubled in the last ten years to about 200,000.
However, charter school performance has not followed the same upward trajectory. With skeptics and supporters on both sides of the charter school debate and our children’s education at stake, PCCY has launched the Pennsylvania Center of Excellence, a new project dedicated to producing unbiased, accurate, and timely information to promote sound charter school policy at the state level. .
“Charter schooling is a polarizing issue on which both sides argue with great conviction but usually very little data,” said M.L. Wernecke, director of the Pennsylvania Charter Fulfillment Center. “In the absence of objective and accessible information, there can be no accountability for increasing the productivity of a charter school or shutting down poorly performing operators.”
Across the Commonwealth, more than three-quarters of charter students in grades 3 through 8 failed the math test and 56% failed the English language test, according to official state student testing. More than half of the charter school’s 11th graders failed their algebra exam; 45% failed Literature.
And within the framework of the state accountability system, all 14 of Pennsylvania’s cyber charters need to be improved.
Low-income and at-risk students are more likely to be enrolled in charters than other students. Only 16% of district schools, but 58% of mainstream schools operate in high poverty areas. This raises serious fairness issues about who attends charter schools and how they do.
Doug Harris, author of Charter School City and founding director of the New Orleans Educational Research Alliance at Tulane University, visited the Center for its first event today. His extensive research found that since New Orleans moved to near-full charter schools in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, students have done better over time, but it hasn’t been a panacea. Success depended on a complex balance of access, accountability, transparency, participation, choice, funding, and government control.
“Pennsylvania’s charter is in desperate need of revision,” said Veronica Brooks-Uy, interim vice president of policy for the National Association of Authorized Charter Schools.
“By improving the law, the state will be able to create stronger and more consistent practices that will lead to better public schools for students and families.
More information about the Center can be found at https://www.childrenfirstpa.org/issues/education/pa-charter-performance-center/ and on Twitter at @pa_center.
The Pennsylvania Workers’ Excellence Center is a new community citizen project for children and youth made possible by a generous donation from the Ivywood Foundation.
M.L. Wernecke, director of the center, works closely with the Advisory Board (listed below) to improve the quality of charter education, especially for at-risk students, by providing objective, accurate and timely information that will promote the adoption of a healthy state. -level charter school policy.
