Academics
History shows us that mentoring relationships can be solid, productive, and powerful.
Mentors
Each mentor works with a limited number of students (approximately 10 to 12). Mentors help students select from courses developed by Mentoring Academy staff or other sources, and then provide support academically and socially so students are successful.
entors are available to schedule regular one-on- one sessions with students to improve their understanding of material and help keep them on track with their workload.
Flexible Schedule
Students can adjust schedules to meet schedules of their lives. School is held 9:00am -5:30pm each day. Courses are self-paced and tailored to the student. In school hours, students complete essentially all work. That opens up evenings for relating to family and friends, reading books, and exploring projects that caters to student interests. Solid work in the school day is sufficient time to accomplish the academic goals.
Comprehensive Support
This union of great resources provides for dramatically more effective courses than single teachers can develop. The academics are then coupled with the support, mentoring, and social life that can be provided in face to face education.
Tailored Courses
Mentoring Academy provides the most effective courses available today, and carefully mentors each student as they successfully complete a rigorous individualized curriculum tailored to meet their individual interests. skills and needs.
Projects & Work
This system allows for detailed monitoring of student learning so issues of motivation, organization, style, study skills can be addressed as soon as they manifest themselves. As well, projects can be integrated more effectively when compared to 20 student classes or single student self-paced settings.
Development
Students are able to connect their social development and academic development by sharing their work and ideas with each other. Also, many short-term courses are offered to enrich student lives outside traditional education such as auto maintenance, computer programming, and more.
