Everything about our private school is carefully designed for personalized learning.
At Vine Academy, we customize instruction, encourage students to discover their own passions and give personalized support in all classes.
This individualized education approach, achieved through small class sizes, means that our students experience amazing outcomes while maintaining their love of learning.

Vine's unique approach to class size is one of the ways we are
most effectively able to customize the curriculum to our student's
individual needs. Core classes (literature, writing, and math) are
taught in small class sizes of six every day. Content classes
(history and science) are taught in class sizes of up to eighteen
(twelve for our primary students). The students' other classes,
including Spanish, projected learning (a project-based executive
functioning class), art, music, fitness, and others are taught in
medium-sized groups.
High Rigor/Low Anxiety:
At Vine, we believe that children are best able to learn in a
comfortable, relaxed state of mind. Our intentionally low-stress,
homework-free structure supports a rigorous education beneficial to
each of our students. We seek to maximize each student's executive
functioning skills by gradually increasing the difficulty of work
according to individual ability. Through this model, our students
learn how to handle more rigorous work, leading to an education
that is challenging and engaging but not overwhelming.
Serious About Executive Functioning:
Our position is that all students should be constantly
developing and improving these essential productivity skills.
Whether your child needs to learn the basics of managing materials
or he's ready to learn to study smarter, not harder, executive
functioning is for everyone. We even have a project-based class
that our students take every day dedicated to E.F.
development!
Homework Free:
At Vine, we strongly believe that the skills needed to complete
homework can be taught in school, and we actively instruct our
students to develop them. A sustained focus on independent work,
breaking down large tasks into manageable pieces, and developing
study techniques are some of the essential skills we prioritize as
we ready our students for their next level of education.
A Safe Place:
We believe that a proactive approach to our students' social
and emotional well-being allows them to be their best selves in the
classroom and on the playground, markedly lowering instances of
bullying. The way our students feel about themselves at Vine goes
hand-in-hand with the satisfaction they feel from being
appropriately challenged in their learning: they are more sure of
themselves and less likely to act negatively due to insecurity.
When conflicts do arise, as they will with all children who are
growing and learning, the staff at Vine is ready to guide them
through these trickier emotions step-by-step, showing them that
there is always a way through to the other side!
