Education For All Students
Our Mission
Focus on learning rather than teaching
in order to reach understanding.
-Dr. William Glasser’s Choice Theory
Our Beliefs:
- Students should be judged not by what they cannot do, but what they CAN do.
- To enable students as fully as possible to choose and, in freedom, to realize their individual path through life as adults.
- It's Not How Smart You Are, It's How You're Smart!
At Breakthrough Academy, we provide an opportunity for children to learn through their unique learning strength using Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory and multisensory, structured, systematic, and explicit instruction. We allow learning in our school to be collaborative, socratic, and democratic. Our small, multi-age classrooms foster inclusionary learning based on the Common Core Standards, yet caters to the unique learning needs and motivation of each student.
Research shows that when taught in the style we teach learners are engaged, they learn how to learn, and they grow into life-long learners.
One exciting methodology used by Breakthrough Academy is "Project-Based Learning". Watch the video example below to see Project-Based Learning in action!
