Adams Traditional Academy is committed to providing a traditional, back-to-basics education within a framework of high standards and high expectations in a safe environment. Its purpose is to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge, to teach critical thinking, and to develop good citizenship and leadership skills. Choice Academy strives to become nationally competitive by achieving its objectives through sequential increase in knowledge and student accountability, highly trained teachers, and strong parental involvement.
ATA exists to provide a better choice for children to excel in their elementary academic years. A childs success in high school and college is directly related to the foundation of his/her education. A childs success in these elementary years is also directly related to the partnership between the school and parent.
This partnership between ATA and the parent is demonstrated by parents assisting and encouraging the student to excel in all areas of academics, responsibility and behavior. Success at ATA requires that parents take an active role in their childs education. If parents value achievement, learning and good citizenship, then the child will also. Valuing achievement is demonstrated at home when parents are looking at daily planners, being aware of what the child is learning and encouraging best effort in all school work. A child is likely to be excited about learning when parents are seen reading. Good citizenship involves respecting both the staff and the other students at school. Arriving to class on time and striving to have consistent attendance teaches responsibility and accountability that are essential to success in college and career. The elementary school years are formative and will be the students foundation for higher learning and leadership.
