Founded in 1963 by Robert M. Hughes, a disabled Korean War Veteran, N.E.S. concentrated during its early years on providing educational, tutorial and cultural enrichment services for inner city youth, in response to the emerging needs of the Springfield Community, Northern Educational Service, Inc. expanded its programs to include substance aJDuse education, prevention, intervention and treatment in the 1 970's. During the 1980's, we expanded our programs to include HIV/AIDS education, prevention, counseling, testing and support services. Moreover, during this period, we refocused our programs and services on education, tutoring, cultural enrichment and family support systems. A comprehensive educational, health and social service organization, Northern Educational Service is excited about the opportunity to offer Springfield and the / Commonwealth its first Charter School modeled after the educationally sound, student centered, Marva Collins Model. We understand, there is much work yet to be accomplished. However, the challenge is one that we know will ultimately benefit those children and families that many people have given up on. We are looking forward to working with you, your staff and the Pioneer Institute in continuing to develop and implement the Robert M. Hughes Charter School, a Marva Collins Learning Center. Sincerely, Norma Bakei" Executive Director 1 . . TABLE OF CONTENTS Basic Fact Sheet I. Executive Summary li. Charter School Application ill. Mission Statement -2 1 1 2. School Objectives 3-4 3.
