2020 – 2021 school schedule

Our first day of school is August 24, 2020. School hours will be 8:15 – 3:15 during the 2020-2021 school year. At this time we intend to offer options described on our recent survey: in-person learning, remote learning or a hybrid model. Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey and share your input. Our leadership team values your feedback and reads every response. We are currently calling all families who have not completed the survey. Please know that once we are able to finalize plans, your family will be able to choose which model best meets your needs.

Summer at AFIA

Remote summer school wrapped up last week. Students engaged in projects during summer school and had the opportunity to learn from field experts via Zoom. In addition to many meetings with local leaders, the AFIA leadership team has also been engaging in work with national organizations as we consider how to best navigate our current reality. This work has included participation in webinars graciously funded by the Missouri Charter Public School Association with the Achievement Network and Beloved Community.
