La Academia de Estrellas Charter School was established to provide innovative learning
opportunities for students, by honoring diverse cultures, languages, backgrounds and
academic abilities. The instructional foundation at La Academia de Estrellas is built upon
three pillars:
1. Inquiry-based instruction, which engages students in open-ended, student-centered,
hands-on activities, which support the acquisition and mastery of the Texas Essential
Knowledge and Skills.
2. Community based learning, where students, parents and teachers partner with
community members to create connections between the classroom and real-world situations.
3. A mixed-age reading component, in which students receive instruction based upon
individual needs in flexible, mixed-age groups.
Fifth grade will be added in 2008-09. Long-range plans include adding grades 6th through
8th to ensure continuity and quality education for students of La Academia de Estrellas.
The school is located on the second floor of Cliff Temple Baptist Church at 125 Sunset
Avenue in the North Oak Cliff section of Dallas.
