We broke the mold of the conventional educational model, found a method to provide an individualized approach, and addressed foundational gaps while accessing grade-level content, all within a classroom setting. We redefined the whole child, created a safe space to learn differently, highlighted the significance of each student's natural approach to learning, identified and removed roadblocks, and created micro scaffolding needed to access grade-level content while offering stretch work for strength subjects. This, combined with our STEAM program that emphasizes eco-stewardship, has proved what we knew all along, that kids with learning differences can outperform expectations, and thrive in Gen Ed and accelerated programs. Primary accomplishments: We have watched our students transition successfully into public and private high schools such as Drew, Lowell, Riordan, SOTA, Mid Peninsula High School, Marin School of the Arts, The Dunn School, and more. We consistently hear from parents about how our students advocate for their college of choice and are making great career path decisions.
