Testimonials

Hello my name is Robert Peoples. I am attending the Charter School of Excellence, Maritime Center. I have been going here for three years now. It is a great school to attend and it has many opportunities that a lot of other schools don’t have. We canoe, kayak and we go fishing. Also, closer to the end of the year we do a swimming program at the Boys and Girls Club.

What I’m saying is: this school is not just a school.  Maritime is like home. It is just like a home because we have teachers who really care about their students and don’t just come and stick around for the money. Maritime is great for me.  Maybe it can even be great or greater for the future students of this school. You will have to come for a visit to see how great it really is!

“I have found myself very much happy with my experience here at the Leadership Center…I liked the differences such as the small classes, student to teacher ratio, and the ability to do more as a whole. I also love that we can do more hands-on things and go more places.”

~ Vanessa

“In my two years of being here, I’ve made a few new friends, went on a few field trips and met a few teachers who taught me new things and who opened my eyes to a new way of thinking.”

~ Carla

“I really developed great relationships with teachers for the first time in my life. And as far as students go I communicated and learned about different ethnicities and backgrounds that I would have never seeked or explored. The population of this school was good for me because it kept me out of trouble.”

“This school has many positive outcomes. I have met some great friends. I have also made great friendships with teachers and counselors who have helped me get my life together. The friends I have met are awesome and help me when I need help.”
