Carpenter Community Charter is dedicated to offering an enriched learning experience for our children and PFC is dedicated to funding it.
Through the generous support of our families and community, PFC provides funding for our exceptional enrichment and class-size reduction programs that enhance and improve the educational opportunities for each and every child.
MUSIC
PFC funding makes possible school-wide participation in a comprehensive music program led by Caster Teoh. This enrichment encompasses music history, singing, music appreciation, movement and rhythm instrument instruction.
Dr. Castor Teoh has held positions such as conductor of the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles at LAphil, Music Director of Youth Symphony West Orchestra, and has played as the lead trumpet for many orchestras, including Camerata of Los Angeles.
We are so happy to have him in our Carpenter family!
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Our physical education program meets all federal, state and LAUSD mandated standards and offers every Carpenter student with 30 minutes of physical education each week. These popular classes are guided by our coach, Miles Haddad. Coach Miles works with classes to teach children about sports (rules, techniques, and sportsmanship), personal physiology, self-esteem, and health.
We love having Coach Miles as part of our community!
DANCE
Our dance program, is led by the amazing Paola Acevedo. Her dynamic program fills a portion of the Physical Education requirements as well as meeting the standards for arts curriculum as set forth in the LAUSD standards. She emphasizes movement, stretching, and traditional dances, and is also the production coordinator for our school holiday performances.
Ms. Acevedo is a wonderful asset to our school.

SCIENCE
PFC funding allows Josselyn Pacheco to work with all grades TK-5. The classroom science curriculum is reinforced with hands on experiments that take place in the science lab, our outdoor science space, or our garden. This opportunity to work on science projects has been embraced by our students, staff and district.
ART
PFC's Art enrichment program encompasses art history as well as art instruction. Led by our beloved Mr. Rivera, students learn techniques and skills that they can incorporate into their curriculum projects. Art promotes individuality and self-expression while improving fine motor skills.
