Supplemented with lots of hands on activities and field trips

PACING: Students will move through Math/Literacy at their own pace; grade levels will be grouped based on numbers

For example: A student in the “4th Grade” by age will do 4th grade standards for Social Studies, Science, and Enrichment Classes. But he might be working on 3rd grade Math (if he is behind) and 5th grade Literacy (if he is ahead). All students will master a skill (80%) before moving on to the next skill. It will look different for each child, based on his needs.

Grades will be skills-based
