CHARTING FAMILY-STYLE EDUCATION

Family Style Cooperative Learning:
Thematic, interactive, cooperative education addressing multiple learning styles empowers students to learn at an accelerated rate and become active participants in their own education. Family-style cooperative learning promotes assimilation of new information, student inquiry, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving skills.

A Family Atmosphere:
Multi-age learning groups, a nurturing environment, and the development of respect for students and staff at USA create a family atmosphere where students form lasting relationships. Presentations are family affairs. Families steer the ship: family members govern the school and partner with the Academy in the education of their child. Family involvement in education is important at the Academy, and we strive to make each student feel that he/she is part of a large, loving family.

Good character developed through positive mentoring and restorative discipline.

Family Values through the development of Responsibility: Students plan projects, meet deadlines, and develop real-world presentations.

Family Values through the development of Resourcefulness:
Students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, communication, and cooperative learning skills.
