This policy brief is the second in a series of in-depth case studies exploring how top-performing charter schools have incorporated civic learning in their school curriculum and school culture. This brief focuses on National Heritage Academies, a for-profit charter management company that runs 74 schools in Michigan and eight other states. NHA schools focus intensely on building strong foundations in the four core subjects--English language arts, math, science, and social studies--while also teaching electives like art, music, physical education, and technology. They are traditional in their approach to teaching, but adopt some student-centered teaching ideas. (Contains 22 notes.)
