Non-traditional
School Programs/6:1 Ratio
Many children find school either
a challenge or not challenging enough.
While teachers try to accommodate
the majority learning level of their
class, they tend to leave out students
who need more challenging material
or who require more attention and
time. At our academy, students find
a welcoming ration of six students
to one teacher as well as one-on-one
schooling and assistance. Our non-traditional
school setting allows students to
create strong bonds with their teachers
and fellow students. A nurturing and
welcoming environment causes a student
to become enthusiastic about learning,
attending school and meeting academic
goals. Individual daily lesson plans
ensure a workload to accommodate each
child's learning level and needs,
while still challenging their young
minds and developing a love for learning.
This supportive, orderly, success-oriented
program encourages the development
of academic competence, effective
work habits, self-discipline, and
self-esteem. Nurturing is in our nature;
we cultivate success.
