We teach a good balance of useful life skills (critical thinking, emotional intelligence, household and car maintenance and other skills) and academics (English, Math, science, history, art, literature,music).
We also give students a chance to dive deeply into and do research in an area of their choosing. Opening Fall 2021.
We believe that a well-rounded education should include the
following:
Practical life skills, such as critical thinking, emotional
intelligence, financial literacy, career education, communication,
household and car maintenance, healthy living, and meal
preparation
General knowledge about the world, such as in basic math,
science and history, and an introduction to literature, art and
music
A chance to take a deep dive into topic(s) that particularly
interests the student.
We believe that most schools today do not do a good job at any
of these. They mostly omit the life skills; don't provide well
rounded general knowledge and in some cases force kids to learn
advanced topics like algebra which most of them will never need in
their lives. Our school strikes a good balance of all three
areas.
Other advantages
We provide much more individual attention to the student than a
large public school can.Our teachers don't have to 'teach to the
test" ie. focus only on subjects on state tests and cover a lot of
topics superficially. We take the time to dive deep into some areas
with a lot of interaction with the students.
Who this school is for
Everybody! We believe all students benefit from our curriculum,
and we are able to help them grow into well rounded individuals. As
we stated above, we are able to give students a lot of individual
attention. Students who might fall behind in a traditional school
will be given the help they need. And students who would feel
unchallenged in such a school will be challenged, including being
given the opportunity to do research with local university
professors in an area of their choice. We will be starting with the
middle and high school grades, and expanding to the elementary
grades later.
In this article we look at the benefits of a STEAM education, highlighting its interdisciplinary approach, the subjects involved, and the value it brings to students.
