Putting Students' Imagination to Work
One of the wonderful things about 1:1 education is that our teachers are able to design unique, thoughtful lessons that work for each student. We love giving our teachers autonomy to design engaging lessons that speak to their students’ (and their own!) strengths and interests. We are also proud to have a strong support staff leading our teachers in this process, offering consistent professional development and guidance.
