About Banning Lewis Ranch Academy

The mission of BLA is to create a safe, positive environment that fosters intellectual curiosity and a thirst for discovery where students and staff succeed through exceptional programs. We will accomplish our mission by: Providing a world-class education through curriculum that exposes students to diverse cultures with a balance in fine arts, technology, character development and extra-curricular activities. Establishing an engaged school community committed to the lifelong success of students in a global environment. Embracing traditional values as the cornerstone of a distinguished education. Design: We offer an extended school day and academic year to allow for true mastery rather than cursory coverage of the curriculum. Curriculum: Our content-rich Paragon curriculum converges high tech with the humanities, combining the rigors of a classical education with the relevance required by contemporary culture. Our interdisciplinary program instills in students a captivating conceptual understanding and chronological picture of history, as well as an awareness of the interrelationships between different domains of knowledge. Technology: To master true computer literacy, students require hands-on access to computers as a tool for authentic learning. Banning Lewis Academy equips each classroom with a computer for every three children, and provides a laptop for each teacher and administrator. Assessment: The barometers that gauge Banning Lewis Academy s success include higher student standardized test scores, marked progress in the quality of performance-based assessments, improved student attendance, and retention as well as enhanced motivation, satisfaction, and morale on the part of students, teachers, and parents.
