Philosophy
The elementary years are critical for establishing a solid, educational foundation. At Mangum we are all committed to providing a positive, safe, learning environment that allows students to develop the skills and acquire the knowledge needed to be successful learners. Students, parents, and teachers are partners in this learning process. Through sound decision making and appropriate risk-taking, students will grow physically, emotionally, and academically.
Teaching
Mangum provides traditional, multi-age, and looping classroom structures to best meet student needs. Classroom instruction is supported and enhanced by art, physical education, music, media, computer, AIG, reading, and resource specialists. Mangum staff, students, and parents worked together to develop many outdoor learning areas, such as classroom gardens, tree trail, amphitheater, and butterfly garden. We strive to provide meaningful, real life, learning experiences that challenge students at their level.
Services for Academically/Intellectually Gifted Students
Mangum's Academically/Intellectually Gifted program provides supplemental enrichment instruction to all students. We focus on critical and creative thinking and problem solving strategies. Students who demonstrate exceptional academic abilities receive additional Academically/Intellectually Gifted support.
