Teaching more to students

During Pam Baggett's teaching career, she taught something some kids weren't learning at home: which family relationships were normal and which weren't.

While teaching child development, parenting skills and family dynamics, Baggett would sometimes hear stories of students' physical and sexual abuse. Obligated by law to report those stories to guidance counselors and police, Baggett found the process heartbreaking but in the end, it saved students lives.

Here at the Broach Schools, we do just this. Our goal is teach our students more than the ABCs and 123s. Times have gotten a lot harder in the past few years and teaching students things, like what to expect from life, gives them that much more of an advantage.

We want our students to be prepared not only for college but life after they leave our schools walls.
