Seashore Learning Center
A Texas Education Agency Exemplary Campus!
Mission
The mission of SLC is to provide an educational facility dedicated to developing self-esteem, confidence, and social skills in each individual student while providing a foundation for a child's high level of academic achievement.
Location
Seashore Learning Center is located on North Padre Island, Corpus Christi, Texas. Our campus is just a "stones throw away" from the Gulf of Mexico. This makes Seashore an ideal campus for learning about marine and environmental science. Students can often be found combing the beaches of Padre Island for marine specimens and information to support in-class assignments. From the top of the Marlin building, students can view the dunes and beaches of Padre Balli Park. What a wonderful and ideal learning environment!
Why a Charter School?
- Charter schools are TUITION FREE, non-sectarian, and non-discriminatory in practice.
- Charter schools are authorized by Texas lax, charter schools are public schools that foster educational competition and offer parental choice in education.
- Charter schools have a significant amount of autonomy and are free to create many innovations in educational and administrative practices.
- Charter schools create competition between schools for students (and the money that follows the students) and through this healthy competition, improve the quality of education offered to all.
- Charter schools can be set up by school districts, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, or government entities.
- Charter schools must be approved by the Texas State Board of Education.
- The charter may be revoked if the Texas State Board of Education is not satisfied with the performance of the school.
- Charter schools offer teachers a chance to work in innovative, autonomous schools that use new, or alternative research based teaching methods, philosophical approaches, assessments, and administrative practices not commonly available in traditional schools.
