"Excellence is doing a common thing in an uncommon way." - Booker T. Washington
This quote defines the philosophy at Alexsander Academy. We believe every child can learn when taught based on their individual needs and by using multiple methods of teaching. Children do not fit into a “one size fits all” type of curriculum and we know that we have to help the students identify their own learning style(s) and incorporate that into their own individualized curriculum. We know that each child has something to teach and something to learn from each other. We believe this is an excellent symbiotic relationship for our children, fostering teamwork and self-esteem and helping to create an optimum learning environment. We want our children to be excited about learning and to have the confidence in their own abilities to continue that quest for knowledge, even after they leave our environment.
Our children will:
- Be challenged to learn and achieve
- Be in a small, nurturing enviorment with a certified teacher that takes their individual learning differences and sensory needs into consideration
- Have the social opportunity to learn in a classroom with their peers
