Academics
Academic programming
We offer a Blended Learning model which is truly a personalized approach. By ensuring students have multiple learning experiences in the classroom that provide data to the teachers, we develop academic goals for the students at their “just right level” of learning. The students are often in a station rotation model in which the teachers have time with all students in small groups on a regular basis. We are also a school that has certified teachers in the Groves Method. Children are assessed three times per year with a standardized assessment.
Special education programming
Our children are served by the special education staff through the Columbia Heights School District. We partner effectively with them to ensure each child with special needs receives the service that is essential to their learning & social emotional health.
English language learner programming
The students are assessed by a professional from the public school district who advises our teaching staff how to best meet the needs of each child’s current level of English acquisition. One of our staff members has studies how to work with the students in small groups & with the teachers. We have spent a great deal of time in professional development workshops to learn further how to expand our understanding & effectiveness.
Covid recovery plan
Our school has hired a learning interventionist to visit each classroom & work with children individually & in small groups in the areas of literacy & mathematics.
