Our school provides students a safe and nurturing environment that incorporates parents and community involvement. We are committed to serve students that are culturally diverse and are united in the ultimate goal of academic excellence, while building future leaders.

At Renaissance Poinciana we ensure a well-balanced scholar ready to take their place in this ever-changing world as a bi-cultural and bi-literate citizen. Our holistic approach to teaching the whole child includes various programs, curriculum and enrichmentopportunities that include language,the arts, sciences and technology.

DUAL LANGUAGE Students will learn in two languages: English and Spanish. The goal of the program is for children to be able to speak, read and write �uently in both languages by the end of 5th grade and continue in Middle School to be on track for the prestigious Seal of Biliteracy upon High School graduation. We strive to prepare our students to meet the educational and employment requirements of the future. Your child will have moreopportunities in the United States and abroad if he/she is bilingual and biliterate.

STEM At Renaissance Charter School at Poinciana, our classrooms come alive with relevant, problem-based learning where 21st Century Skills are embedded through the use of technology, critical thinking, and collaboration to engage the heads, hearts and hands of students in authentic and real-world issues. Our scholars discover the excitement of learning STEM curriculum through Project Based Learning experiences connected to the real world. We believe children become global citizens by learning to think critically and creatively, work collaboratively, and apply what they are learning within extended projects. In addition to teaching the engineering design process and introducing the idea of STEM to students early in their education, this program reinforces skills learned in Math, ELA and Science.

ART Students learn di�erent art styles, �nd their own art style that is uniquely theirs and are immersed in diverse cultures through various art forms, participate in local/national art competitions, use design to create actual products and transition artistic skills into digital programs of the 21st century. In addition, students will act as a community artist to create large-scale murals of purpose and decorate their own school, giving them pride in their work and school spirit.
