Q: How does a school that values relational learning transition to Distance Learning?
A: With dedicated teachers, engaged students, and supportive parents. We've got that!
Our Distinctives continue to guide us:
-
Biblical World View - The Bible is still the lens that informs our teaching and how we approach learning, each other, and our challenging times. Classes are still praying together and offering encouragement.
-
Integral Curriculum - Classes are staying connected, meeting regularly and working through new, essential material in a myriad of creative ways.
-
Character Development - We are all getting practice in the diligence, resilience, gratitude, accountability, and compassion that we set out to work on this year. Attendance has been almost 100% since day one.
-
Multi-Faceted Teaching Approach - Scavenger hunts and other new, engaging activities are introduced regularly. Technology is provided to families who need it.
-
Being Known - Our teachers connect by staying in tune with each student, some even dropping off material and encouraging notes at homes. Small group sessions assist with this goal.
-
Required Parental Involvement - Our parents are involved in new and profound ways as they shepherd their children at home and stay engaged with the tasks and activities of the virtual classroom.
