Hi Angelica,
It's nice to see a charter school emphasizing the arts. Can you give us any data on student performance so far? (I understand that the schools are quite new.)
Thanks!

Hi all,

I?m writing on behalf of String Theory Schools (STS), a Philadelphia-based charter school system that is looking to open its newest location in Jersey City. I?d love to share information about what the school hopes to accomplish to gain support from the local community.

STS offers a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) based curriculum that emphasizes both academic and artistic excellence. By utilizing the arts as a catalyst, STS harnesses innovative teaching and learning techniques to serve as a model for education and to prepare students for success. If you?re interested in learning more, check out this video on how the school has partnered with Apple to reimagine its curriculum (http://www.apple.com/education/real-stories/string-theory-schools), and you can read more about their educational model here (http://stringtheoryschools.com/our-model).

STS is currently undergoing the application process to be approved to open in 2017/2018. Showing your support is easy, you can fill out this petition for String Theory School for the Arts & Sciences - Jersey City and you can share it with friends and colleagues, too - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stsjc.

I hope you'll join me in supporting a new, innovative education option for our children.

Thanks so much,
Anjelica
