How Do We Prepare Our Students for the Real World?
Individualized Instruction: Having smaller classes allows us to know each student as a person with unique interests and needs. This is why our model of education works so well for students who are ahead of the curve, struggling, or moving at grade level. We meet each student where he or she is, regardless of age and have served students as young as 9 years old in the 6th grade. We formulate a learning plan for each student, specifically customized to the student’s needs based on the input of the student, parents, and teachers.
Arts-Based Learning: Students not only participate in arts based classes such as theater, painting, music, etc., but the concept of learning through the arts is infused into every core class. Part of the CI philosophy is that students learn better in all subjects when art is an integral part of learning. Practice in artistic thinking helps students to develop better and more innovative ways of expressing ideas as well as opens their minds to possibilities they might not otherwise consider. Furthermore, CI students seem to have more fun when art is part of the learning process, and it logically follows that students who enjoy their classes will inherently retain more.
Technology: Our students use technology in our school on a daily basis. Learning to navigate the vast amount of knowledge on the Internet in order to ascertain useful and valid information is key for any child growing up in today’s world of technology. Teachers also use online resources to supplement curriculum in all of the core classes, finding videos, teaching modules, and activities that enrich their students' learning experience.
Global Thinking: Our students participate in community service as a part of their graduation requirements as well as engage in regular discussions and debates in class about world-wide current events. By giving students an opportunity to form opinions about what is happening in our world, CI Academy prepares students to become adults who will seek knowledge about world issues and then have the persistence and compassion to get involved in positive change.
Whole Person Development: In addition to academics, we feel it is important that we help children to develop their whole-selves while they attend CI Academy. Great emphasis is placed on communication skills, emotional development, life and occupational skills (such as resume writing, mock interviews, internships, volunteer work, etc.), community service, and critical thinking.
Our Mission Statement
At CI Academy, we value new perspectives and constant self-assessment, as a school and as individuals within that school. As the world evolves, educators must continually reinvent ways of educating and incorporate new curriculum in order to best prepare students to succeed in our rapidly changing society.
Our philosophy is that students are most successful and work toward becoming their finest selves when information is delivered to them in a way that they can understand and enjoy the learning process. We value each student as an individual with unique abilities, desires, and learning styles. It is our mission to provide personalized meaningful and challenging instruction that applies to each student and serves his/her lifelong goals. Arts are an essential piece in our learning philosophy and we find that our students experience greater success in all subjects when they are allowed to ingest material and/or prove understanding of subjects via artistic expression.
A complete CI education includes emotional development, communication skills courses, discussions about social consciousness, as well as training in the fine & performing arts and technology. We place great value on maintaining a safe family-feel environment where students learn to be active participants in the betterment of the community.
