Love, Learn, Grow
Our Curriculum
What Makes Us Different?
There is nothing more important for a child to learn than love of self and love of others. Students are encircled by love from the moment they walk through our doors each day. We teach children that self-worth is not to be found solely in academic and worldly achievements, but that they are enough and genuinely loved just as they are. We help them understand that they are unique beings with infinite potential. We then give them the tools to learn, discover, and grow in their own personal way.
What Can You Expect From Us?
We create an environment of hands-on, immersive exploration and discovery, and children are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity. Each activity is thoughtfully designed to help students learn to love learning and to experience new things while strengthening their foundational values. Trying lots of new things is encouraged. We teach that there is no such thing as failure, but only learning something from each experience. Students develop character and confidence in a supportive and loving environment.
Their full-time teacher, as well as a part-time teachers aid, give personalized attention and become truly familiar with each student's personal learning style, behavior patterns, emotional needs, and interests as the teacher moves through each class period with her class. The student does not rotate between 3 or 4 teachers each day.
What Subjects Do We Teach?
At Royal Academy, you can expect your child to learn core subjects including reading, writing, and math, but we also take your child's education further as they rotate to additional classes such as:
- Music, Dance, and Movement
- Life Skills
- Food and Nutrition
- Life Coaching
- Art
- Science
