Your Child's Education Is As Unique As They Are...
Individual learning plans are created for each student and focus on the students’ interests, learning styles, academic strengths, and areas of need. If your child has struggled in school in the past, they will love our unique, hands-on learning that is centered around them and their interests.
We understand this can be a difficult age and that many students lose interest in school during this time. Our team works deliberately to keep our 6th-8th graders engaged and encouraged. We provide opportunities for students to combine their interests with their everyday learning. We focus on their emotional well being and help them navigate their pre-teen emotions.
Our students are on average, one grade level ahead of students who attended a public school.
