School mission
Eugenio María de Hostos Charter School has been serving the Rochester community for over 20 years as a free, public educational institution of excellence.
PRIDE (Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Excellence) is the focus of our Habits of Character which come to life at each campus. At EMHCS the faculty, staff, and students view themselves as self-reflective, continuous learners. Students are taught that in order to succeed, you need to believe in your ability to learn. Then you need to work hard to gain skills and knowledge. Therefore, the school’s motto is “Believe, Achieve, Succeed.”
The faculty and staff at EMHCS work diligently to achieve the school’s mission of preparing students to meet and/or exceed the New York State standards in core subject areas and becoming bi-literate in both English and Spanish. Our vision is if a child cannot learn the way we teach, then we will learn to teach the way the child can learn. The instruction is delivered in a workshop model where teachers begin with a focused, standards-based, explicit mini-lesson, followed by a differentiated work period that enables students to practice their new learning. Students are then brought together for a closing debrief and an opportunity to reflect on their learning. During centers, teachers and paraprofessionals lead rigorous instruction that supports the development of higher-order cognitive and critical thinking skills and challenges students to defend and elaborate on their answers.
