Craig Lower/Middle School in Mt. Lakes New Jersey Celebrates National School Choice Week

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J. - Jan. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Mt Lakes – The Craig School celebrates National School Choice Week, school administration announced today.

These events will feature class instruction from our Student Peer Leaders from the Craig Middle School. In an ongoing program, our Peer Leaders have been assisting the Lower School classes with reading and math. They are developing relationships with our younger students to help them to embrace the strategy-based instructional techniques used in all of our curriculum. These techniques allow students to build their academic foundations, increase their ability to be active and independent learners and develop a sense of who they are as individuals and students.

The Craig School is an Independent school serving grades 2–8. Craig Lower/Middle School is one of more than 9,000 schools participating in National School Choice Week (January 25–31, 2015). The goal of the week is to shine a positive spotlight on all types of education options for children—from traditional public schools to public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning and homeschooling.

“We are excited to have Craig Lower/Middle School participate in National School Choice Week with this special event,” said Andrew Campanella, National School Choice Week president. “It is because of great events like this that National School Choice Week, in New Jersey and across the country, will break records as the largest and most influential celebration of educational opportunity in American history."
