Core Academics

Math, reading and writing, science and social studies, paced to mastery in small groups with certified teachers.

Strong Foundations, Paced to Your Child

Every morning starts with two focused hours of core academics. Certified teachers lead small groups in math, reading and writing, science, and social studies. Each child moves forward when they’ve mastered a skill, not when the calendar says so. That means no gaps and no getting left behind.

How We Teach

  • Small-group instruction led by certified teachers

  • Adaptive learning software that fills in gaps and extends strengths

  • Structured phonics in the early grades, then guided reading and writing workshop
