Is Your Child's Education Setting Them Up For Success?
Young people need to learn the right things to help them fulfill their dreams. At Mission Academy, our mission is to empower K-8 grade students to live meaningful lives by providing an environment where they discover their unique strengths, learn real-world skills, and grow in good character. Children get one shot at their education, so they need to learn what matters most.
Three Ways Learning Is Different at Mission Academy.
It's Student-Centered:
We empower kids to own their learning.No homework here. Instead, we help students set goals, manage their time, and work at their own pace. Students learn by engaging in hands-on projects in science, art, and technology. This is authentic learning, not focused on passing tests or memorizing facts.
Focused On The Real World:
We believe students learn by doing-whether it's launching a startup business, playing an instrument, or programming a robot in their summer apprenticeship. Our scholars are building real-world skills every day and paving a path to success in the future.
Guided, Not Taught:
Learning should reflect the unique personality and interests of the learner.Instead of boring lectures, our Guides lead small groups, helping students set goals and discover their own learning path. With small groups, caring adults, and lots of freedom, kids are empowered to learn.
