Active Kidz

our exclusive in-house system

Here, our Active Kidz learning system means children laugh, explore, and play their way to enhancing their physical, social-emotional, mental, and cognitive growth.

Here are several of the principal systems we use as part of our program.

Abeka

Abeka’s Spiral Learning approach begins with the basics, progressing to deeper understanding at age-appropriate times. There is a continual emphasis on review for mastery, reinforcing specific concepts, then advancing to higher complexity.
Every year and across subjects, concepts are reintroduced and applied in new ways. So each time a child revisits the material, what they’ve learned is reinforced. This means children have multiple opportunities for mastering what they’ve learned. Studies show, in most academic settings, kids can lose up to 50% of what they’re taught in just a few days.* This is known as the “Forgetting Curve,” and it’s a key reason children struggle in school. Repetition diminishes the curve of forgetting, making the Spiral Learning approach effective in helping students retain more of what they learn.

Inspired Teachers

Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read uses a proven, simple and fun method to give your child a strong foundation in Phonics and reading skills.
Rather than age or grade level, the program allows kids to start based on where they might be in terms of reading skills, which is ultimately more supportive and effective since it allows students to go back and work on fundamentals, if necessary, without much judgment.

Montessori

an educational method based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms, children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process.

Montessori involves

Various activity stations for children to choose from throughout the day. Teachers that move from group to group instead of standing at the front of the classroom. A focus on the whole student—social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development are all considered.
