Early Childhood Laboratory
During each long-term semester, more than 1,000 college candidates use the laboratory for observation, participation and other educational purposes. The early childhood program at SFA is recognized as one of the most outstanding programs of its kind in the nation. The college program is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the children’s program is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Serving more than 1,000 college candidates and 100 children each year, this dynamic program continues to meet the demands of a diverse university, community and state.
SFA Charter School
The SFA Charter School is state funded and operates as a public school. The school offers the James I. Perkins College of Education an opportunity to build on the great success that has been achieved with the Nacogdoches ISD/SFA Charter School partnership in operation on the SFA campus since August 1998. The dynamic interaction of the Department of Education Studies, Early Childhood Laboratory and the SFA Charter School allows the College of Education to perform cutting-edge research in early childhood education, creating a one-of-a-kind center for East Texas and the state.
Study-Abroad Programs
Candidates have the opportunity to study the educational systems of various countries, such as Costa Rica, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and China. Faculty and candidates visit local schools, have audiences with governmental officials, and experience cultural events and sites. The university’s Office of International Programs coordinates these experiences.
