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

- Introduction to subjects like  English, Math, Science and History, Literature, Art and Music

- More advanced instruction in subjects that interest the student and which they may pursue a career in

- A chance to do research with a college professor in areas of interest

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. And even when they teach subjects that should be inherently interesting, like literature, they somehow find a way to sap all enjoyment from them. 

Our school strikes a good balance of these areas, and we teach them in a way that students enjoy. 

• We provide much more individual attention to the student than a large public school can

• We use the Socratic method of instruction - highly interactive with students

• 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

• We believe in taking care of the body as well as the mind, and to this end there will be a mandatory period of physical activity/sports for all students every day

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.
