Book excerpt: This paper examined the many facets that have made the High Point Model a successful charter school. First and foremost, addressing and improving the attitudes and perceptions students have of school will lead to improved learning. Other valuable considerations that will prepare the way for academic success and promote deeper and more meaningful learning by the students include: the need for educational change and how that change led to the charter school movement; the essential elements of a supportive environment and how that environment helps students learn; the value of a project-based approach to teaching and learning; the benefits of a non-graded format; the use of standards-based assessment; the creation of a technology rich environment and its impact on student learning and achievement; and the role of students in creating the school community and climate.
