Instruction will draw from the Montessori and Acton Academy approaches in that each “lesson” is tailored to the child (or children in the case of small group instruction). There is not a “teacher” but rather a guide or mentor that assists the children in learning independently and keeping with the scope and sequence of needed basic academic skills. ALL classes will incorporate movement to meet the needs of active children.
Safety is our Number 1 Priority:
Two adults at all times; CPR and First Aid trained guides. Low child to adult ratio: 10:1.
