A Technology and Arts + Choice School
History of Lincoln
Lincoln K-8 Choice School evolved from a grassroots effort by parents and teachers who wanted an alternative elementary school for their children in Rochester. Since 1975, Lincoln Choice School has provided Rochester students and parents with a choice. In 1994, Lincoln expanded its offerings from a K-6 to a K-8 program. Technology has emerged as focus over the last five years but it is not the only focus. Lincoln has a strong commitment to Spanish instruction, classroom themes, classroom productions and a focus on students developing their own learning goals with guidance from teachers and parents.
Classrooms are multi-aged except for kindergarten. We have four teaching teams meeting the needs of three hundred students. The Primary team is made up of students in grades one and two. The Middles team is composed of students in grades two and three. The Intermediate team houses students in grades four and five and the Uppers team is made up of students in grades six, seven and eight.

Integrated Science Education Outreach
This summer many of the Lincoln staff spent one to four weeks working with Zebrafish at Mayo Clinic. Under the direction of Dr. Steve Ekker and Dr, Christopher Pierret teachers worked in the lab and create twenty seven science lesson to be used with students. These lessons will be used with students during the 2009 -2010 school and then revised.
The summer of 2010 will see another set of teachers working in the lab and creating more lessons.
