What distinguishes the Academy from other Schools?

 


January

 

The Setting

In August 2005, the Academy of Exploration International moved to its dream location! A 1.5 acre horse property with a barn, sun-filled school rooms, a tremendously beautiful natural environment with llamas, ostriches, donkeys, bulls, horses, a duck pond, etc. as neighbors, and a lot of outside room to run, play, and be creative. At the Academy, each student has his own desk, executive chair, and computer. Break times offer the opportunity for a swim in the lap pool or a quiet relaxation in the jacuzzi.

Academic Program

Within this Natural Setting, Students study an excellent, high academic Curriculum. As a registered Private School, the Academy meets and exceeds all California Curriculum Requirements. In addition, the Academy is a member of the National Coalition of Alternative Community Schools (NCACS) and the Alternative Educational Resource Organization (AERO) and works in cooperation with other international schools around the world. Students at Exploration International have therefore the opportunity to take international academic courses, foreign languages, and any courses offered globally. When enrolling at the Academy, an Individualized Academic Program is designed that meets each student’s individual and specific needs.

Curriculum

In order to ensure the success of each child, the Academy accepts only 6 Students per teacher! During school hours (9:30 to 2:30) each student receives individual attention by the teacher on a daily basis and can progress at his/her own pace. The academic subjects are taught by a credentialed, multi-lingual teacher with 25 years of teaching experience in Europe, Mexico, and the USA. The low teacher/student ratio of 1 to 6 enables the teacher to monitor each student’s success and to remain on a subject until all skills are mastered. Periodic testing/ evaluations provide a reflection of each student’s academic achievement on a national/ international level. Currently, students study the following courses daily: Reading, Writing, Math, Foreign Language, Social Studies, Science, Music, Arts/Crafts, Nutrition, Typing, & Computer Science.

Students’ Life

At the Academy, students consider learning to be an exploration and an exciting experience. Similar to the adult’s work environment, students study goal oriented (in contrast to time oriented). In accomplishing daily academic tasks, each child experiences achievement and confidence as a learner. Since students can complete all academic work at school with the assistance of the teacher, each child pursues a variety of interests after school including activities like Karate, Ice-skating, Gymnastics, etc. Homework is a parental choice and is adjusted to each student’s need. Without feeling overwhelmed by nightly homework, students of Exploration International enjoy a quality time and rich social life with family and friends in the afternoon/evenings and often continue their exploration of knowledge outside of school.

Parental Choices

The Academy is open year round. The school year is structured into 2 Semesters and a Summer Program. Students may enter the school at any time throughout the year. While focusing on academics from September through June, students can continue their studies during the summer with fun filled activities like swimming, crafts, play, beach visits, etc. Knowledge gained during the school year is periodically reviewed so students won’t forget already learned skills during the summer. Besides the Summer Program, the Academy offers parents choices in areas such as Academic Courses, Subject Content, Homework, Testing, Field Trips, and Vacation Periods. In working closely with parents, the Academy nurtures the intellectual, social, emotional, and moral growth of each student and is dedicated to making a Positive Difference in the Life of your Child.
