A new pedagogical approach based on the science of how children learn
Neuroscience-driven pedagogy leveraging the science of how children learn
When we set out to create a school for bright kids with complex learning, social-emotional and neurological profiles, we quickly realized that the science was there to help them unlock their gifts—but that it had yet to be implemented in the classroom. What ensued was a deep dive of our own, to develop the neuroscience-based interventions and pedagogies that will benefit all children, but that are essential for complex learners with asynchronous development.
Here are some of the ways we present curriculum and instruction that set us apart:
We differentiate instruction based on specific neurocognitive strengths & weaknesses
Instead of fighting kids to sit still, we leverage movement & sensory input to accelerate learning
We take a trauma-informed approach to overcoming learning resistance
We take a “No Silos” approach to integrating OT, PT & social-emotional skills into academic programming
