At the Arts Academy Charter Middle School, we are very proud of our teachers and feel they are prepared to give your child a high-quality education. As a Title I school, we must meet federal rules related to teacher qualifications as defined by law. These rules allow you to learn more about the training and credentials of your child’s teachers. We are happy to provide this information to you.

The Board views the education of students as a cooperative effort among the school, parents/guardians and community.  In compliance with federal law, the school and parents/guardians of students participating in Title I programs shall jointly develop and agree upon a written parental involvement policy.

AACMS operates with a strong belief in the significance of our teaching staff. We consider the recruitment, interviewing, and selection process to be of paramount importance among all other tasks we handle administratively. Professional development of our staff is also key. We do not hire non-certified staff for any core subject areas, and have never had any non-certified teachers teaching core academic subjects. Our equity plan details our process for hiring & developing teachers, as well as the breakdown of teachers we have here.
