At THE WRITE ACADEMY we pride ourselves both on the quality of our experience and our expertise in child development and pedagogy -the art and science of teaching. It is not simply a matter of knowing WHAT to teach, but rather knowing WHEN to teach, HOW to teach and WHY we are teaching.
Unlike the classroom where children are taught group think and challenged only to meet core curriculum content standards, we teach children to reach into the higher order of thinking: creativity, analysis and investigation.
THE WRITE ACADEMY offers a program of Diferentiated Instruction that works with your child's innate intelligences and interests while inculcating the values of discipline, hard work and excellence. We understand that intelligence comes in infinite forms and every child deserves to have the kind of attention and instruction that will turn him or her into a confident star in the classroom!
Enrichment activities expand on students' learning in ways that differ from the methods used during the school day, enhancing a student's education by bringing new concepts to light or by using old concepts in new ways. Enrichment activities must be enjoyable fun for the student, while imparting knowledge. They allow the participants to apply knowledge and skills stressed in school to real-life experiences.
There are three important indicators of a high-quality Enrichment Programs:
1.The academic content is intrinsic to an enjoyable activity, not an afterthought, so that children come to see "academics" as something that can provide enjoyment on its own. A combination of intense creativity with passionate academics allows learning itself to become the source of pleasure and growth!
2.The program fosters strong, trusting and enriching social interactions that keep the students wanting to come back! For many students the desire to please an important adult is strong motivation for success. Students must believe that the adults are invested in their growth, have the desire to see the students succeed and are able to respond to the student’s individual needs.
3.The program appreciates the uniqueness of each child and differentiates activities and instruction to meet their inherent abilities and interests. Every child has unique gifts to bring to the world which can be realized only when your child has the academic and intellectual tools to turn curiosity into achievement.
