It is very hard to express to someone who is not involved with the Souderton Charter School Collaborative, all of the subtle, yet important things about our school that make us different.
Our mission statement is a great place to start, but what keeps us going after the first year?
What really makes us shine?
Why do parents, faculty, board members, students, and staff keep coming back?
We decided to ask the folks in our community to explain, in their own words, some of the things that really make us special.
We hope this will help you to understand, and maybe even want to get involved!

2002-2003 school year:

"Discovery (Workshop) is fun. You get to play and make stuff. I think I learn lots of things from Discovery, like how to build. Some friends can help. Or, you could look at bugs and hold them."
- Justin, Student, age six, first grade

"At SCSC, everyone is kind to one another. Instead of fighting, you can use the Stop Rule, the Peace Table, Emergency Council Meetings, and Problem Solving Reports. This makes you think before you act. It also helps you make better decisions. At my school, I like that people don't get hurt. People listen to me."
- Jacob, Student, age 8, third grade

This morning my son and I sat together and cuddled quietly for a few minutes when out of the blue he said to me, "Dad, I really love the Souderton Charter School." So I asked him, "What is your favorite thing about Souderton Charter School?" His response was, "Everything is at my level!"

"My daughter has got to be the happiest middle school student at SCSC. She loves it so much that she'll go to school on a Saturday Work Day and volunteer to scrub the toilets. -The toilets!!! I can't even get her to take out the trash at home!"
- Joy, Parent & Board Member
