Congrats SASCCS on Receiving Expansion and Name Change

Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter Schools received their full five-year extension and name change from New York State and the Board of Regents.

Wednesday, May 18th, 2022The Science Academies of New York (SANY) is excited to announce both Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools and Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter Schools have received their full five-year extension. Receiving a five-year extension from New York State and the Board of Regents is a tremendous accomplishment and no easy feat. To receive a five-year full-term renewal and/or expansion from New York State and the Board of Regents, charter schools must show a high standard for academic success and financial integrity. All SANY Charter Schools since 2003 have always received a full five-year term. We are glad to see this tradition continuing this year with SAS and Citizenship.

In the 2022 - 2023 school year, Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter School (SASCCS) families can look forward to welcoming students in grades 7-12th to its new location in Liverpool, New York, at the former Nate Perry Elementary School. This 27-acre campus will be the new home for the Atoms in grades 6-12th. The elementary school location will remain in Syracuse, New York. While we are Many Atoms, One Family, there will be a new name for SASCCS. The new name will be Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse Charter School (CSASCS).
 
We want to thank the leadership team for preparing all the detailed work and the excellent staff, students, and parents for always believing in us. We look forward to continuing to build success, One Atom at a time.

2nd-Grade Atoms Begin New ‘Read To Them’ Book

Student Teacher, Ms. H, reads the story book, ‘We’re All Wonders’ to the Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school 2nd-grade students.

Monday, May 2nd, 2022Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship 2nd-grade students are all wonders! As they begin their new 'Read to Them' book, 'We're All Wonders,' by R.J. Palacio, the students reflect on what kindness means to them.

The story, 'We're All Wonders,' is about a boy named Auggie, who is like any other child but looks a bit different due to his facial deformities. Since Auggie looks different from other children, many of his classmates make fun of him and treat him with disrespect. When this happens, all Auggie wants to escape on an adventure with Daisy to a world where he feels like he belongs.

Student Teacher, Ms. H, read to the Atoms the story and discussed the story's central theme - choosing to be kind to others above all else. Following the story, all the Atoms and teachers in 2A pledged to choose kindness even when it's hard, when it goes against our friends and when we're feeling bad.
