Academics

A Personalized Approach to Rigorous Learnings

At the Academy of Scholars Leadership and Learning Center, our academic program blends the structure of traditional schooling with the flexibility families value. As a small learning community serving grades 6–11, we provide focused instruction, individualized support, and meaningful mentorship to ensure every scholar grows academically and personally.

Core Academic Foundations

Scholars receive structured instruction in:

English Language Arts
Mathematics
Science (including Earth & Space Science and applied STEM)
History and Social Studies

Our coursework emphasizes critical thinking, analytical writing, problem-solving, scientific inquiry, and civic understanding. Instruction is standards-aligned and designed to prepare students for high school completion and post-secondary success.

Applied & Experiential Learning

In addition to core academics, scholars participate in hands-on learning experiences that deepen understanding and build real-world skills, including:

STEM competitions such as Future City and Plant the Moon
Leadership and service initiatives
Entrepreneurship and financial literacy
Fine Arts instruction
Physical Education including archery and swimming

These experiences reinforce discipline, collaboration, and innovation.

Our Academic Model

Our microschool model allows for small-group instruction, mixed-grade collaboration, and individualized pacing. Scholars engage in direct instruction, guided practice, Socratic discussion, and project-based learning. Assessment may include portfolios, presentations, written evaluations, and performance-based measures to ensure mastery and growth.

High School Credit & Graduation Preparation

High school students earn academic credit aligned with graduation expectations. Coursework is documented on official transcripts and supported by a detailed school profile. Our program ensures scholars are prepared for post-secondary education, entrepreneurship, and leadership in their communities.
