Mission Statement
Mission: Gift of Knowledge Academy is committed to providing a firm foundation in literacy and math to kids in grades K-2 that will give them the ability to reach their full potential. Vision: To become the premiere school where 100% of our students are at or above grade level in literacy and math by the end of the second grade.
About This Cause
We are a K-2 school serving mostly low-income families in Durham, NC. We use research-based reading instruction that the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development state is most effective. This reading instruction includes phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension. We incorporate these 5 components as well as writing, spelling, sight words, all while implementing a multisensory approach to learning. For math, we teach number sense which is key to understanding and excelling in math. Although our main focus is providing literacy and math instruction, we also incorporate Social Studies, Science, Music, Art, and Computer Technology. All of our kindergarten students have been reading in 5 months. Most didn’t even know all of the alphabet when they started.
