It is our goal to help every student acquire the SKILLS they are lacking, so that they can gain the CONFIDENCE to have SUCCESS in every aspect of their lives. We feel that all students can learn when they are taught by a professional educator using research-based best practices. Each student will receive instruction that is customized to meet his or her individualized instructional needs. All students deserve to be held to only the highest expectations and to be treated as active participants in their learning. Students will receive a hands-on, rigorous, and engaging curriculum that directly teaches the basic skills of math, reading, and writing. We will challenge students to think critically and rationally about the subject matter and to ask their own questions, by creating lessons that are relevant, interesting, and that teach students the content as well as the skills and problem- solving strategies they will need for life. Our learning environment is warm, welcoming, positive, and structured so that all students are able to experience success.
