We are focused on our students progressing at their own specific pace because each of them are unique individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses. We assess our students when they enter our school and this dictates where we start with them with regard to the instruction they receive. We provide progress monitoring continuously throughout the year and provide parents weekly feedback in their student’s GREATNESS Reports.

Having a Comfortable & Flexible Learning Environment is very important at our school. Who of us wants to be uncomfortable when working or learning?! We definitely don’t want that for our kids. We have a variety of seating options for students to use throughout the school day.

Having a Comfortable & Flexible Learning Environment is very important at our school. Who of us wants to be uncomfortable when working or learning?! We definitely don’t want that for our kids. We have a variety of seating options for students to use throughout the school day.
Students can sit on wobble stools while working at a table, sit on the floor while working on a clipboard, or stand up if that helps them to focus. We want our kids to enjoy coming to school, be comfortable while they are learning, and understand that we each have our own individual preferences . . . and that’s ok.

Our students and teachers are all smiles about our Year-Round Calendar. Our calendar is another example of our total commitment to our students’ overall success. We keep students engaged in learning every month throughout a calendar year. Ultimately, our finish line is high school graduation, not May. We view our continuum of learning as a marathon, not a sprint.

We believe all children have a GREATNESS to be discovered and cultivated. What makes their head and heart happy? This is the question we keep asking them to help them discover what this could be. The Academy Way is to focus our time on the strengths of our students, not their weaknesses.
We help our children understand who they are, what their strengths are, and how to minimize their weaknesses. This is what we believe will prove of most value to them in real-life. Their GREATNESS is what will make them special and will help them realize and understand this.
