Bored. Inattentive. Hiding at the back of the room. Not engaging with the teacher and giving up on learning. This is a daily fact for kids when THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM ISN’T WHERE THEY LEARN BEST. That’s why we’re here. We’ve created a better way for all of these students to learn, starting with transformative academics. This means we teach students to master the academic fundamentals so they can be successful beyond middle and high school AND we help students discover how they learn best. Academics is not only the course subject itself but the process of learning how to learn and feeling good about school again.
Transformative academics
Built on a foundation of confidence and respect, our students and teachers work together in one-to-one learning sessions. Our transformational teachers give full attention to each student and draw them into the learning experience. Teachers become trusted mentors and tailor the pace of class and even the content presented to help students gain confidence and optimism about their academic future. Students discover how they learn best and enjoy learning again.
One to one education
We teach the science of learning and of happiness. Every student will struggle with some subject in high school, college, or in life. We teach kids how learning works so they can improve their study habits, manage stress, overcome obstacles, approach homework successfully, and meet deadlines. Our seminars and courses teach the practical application of research by Dr. Carol Dweck on growth mindset, Dr. Angela Duckwork on grit, and Shawn Achor on The Happiness Advantage.
Happiness factor
Homework can be a stressor in many homes. Our goal is to turn ‘home’ work into ‘school’ work. For every hour of one-to-one instruction, students spend a couple of hours in Guided Study. Here our teachers help students learn good study habits... from planning out homework to note taking methods to double-checking work. We offer enough time for students to complete all of their homework on campus and encourage our students – and parents – to take advantage of Guided Study. Here we teach students to be self-directed learners. Guided Study is included with your course tuition for no additional charge.
My son is in 9th grade and has been going here since 7th grade. The teachers are absolutely amazing. What a difference from our other experience with teachers. They actually take the time to figure out what way your child learns best. My kid is thriving there. He has great friends and he is very happy.
