The Need for Flexible Learning Is More Necessary This Year Than Ever

This unprecedented school year was anything but normal. Because of individual circumstances, students have ended the 2020-2021 school year at very different places academically. Some students are ahead, some are behind, and some need more help in certain subjects than others. They vary greatly because some students were able to put in full days of working on school assignments, while others had extra responsibilities because of the pandemic -- parents working outside of the home, watching after younger siblings, not being able to complete assignments because they needed more direction in completing assignments, etc.

Our Teaching Model Is Flexible

At ARCHES Academy, we start our students at their current level, not where they are expected to be. In preparing for the 2021-2022 school year, we realize a good amount of students will be behind. We don’t have expectations that we will catch every student up at the same pace.

Our Flexible Model Prevents Learning Loss

We take great care to ensure students never feel “less than” their peers. Or to feel punished because they haven’t completed as much in the curriculum as others. At ARCHES, we focus on the individual student and help them to be at the level they need to be at, while honoring everything they’ve already learned.

Our Flexible Model Doesn’t Hold Anyone Back

At ARCHES, our model is designed to never hold anyone back. If a student is ahead, we never want them to wait around for everyone else to catch up. At ARCHES, we never let our students get bored. We encourage their growth and nurture it to the best of our abilities. Our flexible model accommodates the many cases we have of students who are excelling in one subject, while very behind in another. ARCHES Academy students advance in our school at their own pace based on a strong foundation of academic performance.
