A+ Academy has brightly colored wall murals
through out the entire lower level. We boast
about our large open classroom that allow
students access to all our instructors for
help
. Even students with severe learning
disabilities are given the
opportunity of a full curriculum-with all
subjects presented.
At A+ Academy, our specialized
teachers can be subcontracted by parents to
tutor individuals or in remedial groups or extremely
advanced groups to help students reach their
individual potential.
The most basic goal of A+
Academy is for students to develop an
intrinsic desire for knowledge.
Students are
MOTIVATED
with genuine
PRAISE and
ENCOURAGEMENT rather than
external rewards.
The Learning Experience
Learning areas are sub-divided for smaller
classroom ratio
Mathematics
The mathematics program involves the
students exploring concepts in a relevant
way. They have the opportunity to work both
individually and collaboratively and to gain
confidence in the challenge of problem
solving. Students at A+ Academy
are assessed and presented with mathematical
concepts that fit their mastery level. For
example, a third grade student may need to
work below or higher than his grade level.
Math can be presented though workbooks (all
grades), computer (grades 3-12), and
multiple intelligence (grades k-6).
Science
At A+ Academy the science
program recognizes the natural curiosity
children have about their environment. It
provides opportunities for discovery and
experimentation in life, earth and physical
sciences. The program teaches students to
apply scientific procedures and technology
to solve problems. Our goal is that the
students will search for answers and apply
what they have learned to the other areas of
the curriculum. Science can be presented
though workbooks (all grades), computer
(grades 3-12), and multiple intelligence
(grades k-6).
Language Arts
The Language Arts program balances
thinking, listening, speaking, reading and
writing skills, and aims to cultivate in
children an enthusiasm for language-based
activities. Reading groups at A+ Academy are
formed based on achievement levels. Students
are presented curriculum material according
to their ability, rather than their assigned
grade level. For example, advanced readers
are placed in reading groups with students
from higher grades to accelerate their
reading. At A+ Academy specialized
teachers can be subcontracted for reading
specifically to instruct small remedial
groups or extremely advanced groups to help
students reach their individual potential.
The writing program is designed to help
advanced students take risks and to view
themselves as authors. Writing is an
integral part of A+ Academy Language Arts
program. At all levels, proper sentence
structure, phonetic rules, punctuation and
clarity of ideas are emphasized.
Social
Studies
Spacious classroom for our CP and Autism
clientele
The social studies program provides
opportunities for students to understand
themselves in relation to their family,
community, country and world. Through the
study of the history of our country and
multicultural awareness, the knowledge and
celebration of differences is encouraged.
The program provides opportunities for
geography and map skills to be developed
from grade to grade. An awareness of the
earth's limited resources and how they are
used, developed and shared is highlighted to
promote social responsibility.
Computerized Instruction
A+ Academy students third grade and up
have access our
SOS computerized curriculum
for all subjects but Math. It also includes
a large variety of high school electives as
well. Readmaster provides easy to
use computer
support of Reading comprehension, typing,
word building, and math skills for
kindergarten and up.
We also offer
typing, some
Intellikeys programs and basic
computer literacy classes. The literacy
courses proceed on to the platform of
Microsoft applications. The word processing
program, Microsoft Word, that is used for
classroom communication; the spreadsheet
application, Microsoft Excel, which will
allow them to present graphic depictions of
numeric values; and even the "art explosion"
of Power Point are part of the daily
curriculum that the students learn to use
with ease and understanding. Front Page can
also be taken for those interested in web
design.
Creative Arts
The creative arts include art classes,
music, & drama.
The program promotes a
variety of hands-on activities to encourage
students to explore freely and express their
imaginative ideas. Students gain
self-confidence by taking risks, completing
tasks and exhibiting their artistic talents.
At A+ Academy the arts activities are often
related to the academic curriculum to
reinforce the relationship of the arts to
every area of learning.
Social & Emotional Development
Emotional development is an integral part
of the A Plus Academy curriculum. The daily
social skills group sessions encompass the
five domains of Emotional Intelligence:
knowing one's emotions; managing emotions;
motivating oneself; recognizing emotions in
others; and handling relationships. The goal
of the program is that the students will
more fully understand, appreciate and learn
skills enabling them to develop strong
social skills and good mental health
throughout their lives.
Physical Education
The primary goal of the physical
education to aide each child in developing
skills and understanding of physical
movements. The programs encourage an
appreciation of a variety of physical
activities, fitness and health issues and
stress the importance of participation,
discipline, support, teamwork and good
sportsmanship. Team Sports are now being
offered for 5th grade and up.
Wide open spaces for recreation & adaptive
PE
Tae Kwon Do and Gymboree are offered if
there is enough interest.
