About

 Welcome… to the Weekly Posts and Stories from one of America’s Most Innovative Charter Schools!

 

 

 

Mueller Charter School is located in Chula Vista, California.  We are seven miles from the border with Tijuana, Mexico.  Our students are talented, multilingual, multinational, bright, motivated, and globally aware.  Our mantra (not to be confused with some school logo for the stationary) is that “Our Children Will Change the World”.  Because they will.  Or they won’t.  And we are pretty sure that the difference between whether children are positioned to some day change the world depends on us and the kind of schools and communities and opportunities we create for them.

There is a lot going on here.  Look for 3 themes in my blog post:

• General commentary about issues in education, and especially charter schools

• “The Gunpowder Chronicles”:  a series that will record the development of the exciting partnership between Mueller Charter School and the Chula Vista Nature Center; and 

• “Journaling Chaos”: a series of blog posts over the next year that will document our research, site visits and brainstorming sessions as we attempt to eliminate the counter-productive system of grouping students in grade levels according to their chronological age.
