Features
year-round
schooling
Moton is a “45-15” Year Round School for Performing
Arts and Technology, that provides high-quality,
data-driven instruction that is held accountable to
rigorous performance standards and led by innovative,
results-driven educators. Students attend classes
for 45 days (a regular nine-week quarter) followed
by 15 days of Intersession/vacation. During the
Intersession, students have the opportunity to extend
learning beyond that of traditional schools. The
Intersession Program increases the amount of learning
time, provides opportunities for students to increase
academic performance, and provides enrichment as
well as remediation.
Moton Charter School is an open-enrollment charter
with no academic entrance requirements. Students are
selected in order of application. Students are placed
on a waiting list if no spaces are available at time of
application.
The chartering organization is Advocates for
Innovative Schools Inc. Moton opened as a charter
school in August, 2006.
