Staff / Departments
Consistent with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) regulations as they apply to charter schools, Amana Academy has actively sought the most highly qualified staff possible. All Amana faculty and staff have been rigorously screened on the basis of their academic credentials, relevant experience, validated evidence of student achievement and recommendations from previous employers, parents and the community.
As even the youngest of children can aspire and exemplify Amana principles, so too will they react to examples that are inconsistent with these values. Amana Academy educates by example. As such, Amana Academy staff must exemplify the qualities we strive to guide our students towards. In the words of our partner ELOB, we are not passengers but a "crew". Therefore, ideas and actions of all staff affect the course to which we steer ourselves. As we truly are "charting new waters" with our unique emphasis on high academic achievement, communication excellence, Arabic, ethical character and stewardship, we strive to attract and retain individuals who show enthusiasm for and commitment to these areas.
