The Boggs Educational Center plans to open in 2012. We are currently working on securing a charter and a location in the Island View Village neighborhood.

To fulfill our goals, we have selected to implement a Place-Based Education (PBE) program.  PBE is a nationally renowned and research-based model that has facilitated high student achievement in areas like Oakland, Louisville, Boston, Portland, and New York City. BEC will pioneer PBE for low-income students in Detroit. PBE immerses students in local heritage, cultures, landscapes, opportunities and experiences, using these as a foundation for the study of language arts, mathematics, social studies, science and other subjects across the curriculum. PBE emphasizes learning through participation in service projects for the school and local community.

The following are the principles of the Place-Based Education model:
    •    Learning takes place on-site, in the schoolyard, and in the local community and environment.
    •    Learning focuses on local themes, systems, and content.
    •    Learning is personally relevant to each learner.
    •    Learning experiences contribute to the community’s vitality and environmental quality and support the community’s role in fostering global environmental quality.
    •    Learning is supported by strong and varied partnerships with local residents, organizations, businesses, and government.
    •    Learning is interdisciplinary.
    •    Learning experiences are tailored to the local audience.
    •    Learning is grounded in and supports the development of a love for one’s place.
    •    Local learning serves as the foundation for understanding and participating in regional and global issues.
