Tucson Charter School Spotlight on Leadership

Courtney Braren came to AmeriSchools as a highly recommended teacher in 2001. She brought with her an intuitive understanding of how children learn and a deep understanding of elementary curriculum. Courtney earned her Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University and she is mother to Ryan, an all around super young man who is in high school. She served as Lead Teacher before being named Principal in 2006. Courtney has developed an effective team and proves herself as an inspirational instructional leader everyday. She leads by example, providing mentoring, collaborative planning and even teaches an elective class herself! She supports a friendly, respectful learning environment where every child can succeed – and that makes a Difference.

Learning is Not a Spectator Sport

Research reports that young children learn through guided activities that are developmentally appropriate. Come and join our Readiness/Foundations students as they engage in center based learning that provides daily opportunities to apply academic skills while practicing social school skills for success.

Middle School Success

AmeriSchools Middle Level Students are ready for high school. Ms. Braren and the staff have worked hard this year to build a school culture of achievement, and service. Each student has a R.A.P. book that stands for Responsible for Academic Progress. Throughout the year students explore their learning styles, learn to set achievable goals, and are accountable for both personal and academic progress. Students taking charge of learning! In Student Advocacy Teams they learn and practice communication skills and peer mediation. This is reflected in a respectful school culture that supports student growth and learning for the 21st century. Check out the great student created and published newsletter linked on this website. Our students are ready to meet the rigors of high school – and we know they will soar – just like the Phoenix.
