Reading and Writing
We understand that writing can be a daunting task for many students, so our educators work with a nurturing, strengths-based approach that instills confidence and fosters a love for creative expression.
Through personalized instruction, we identify individual challenges and tailor strategies to overcome them. Our evidence-based practices focus on building foundational writing skills, from organizing ideas and crafting coherent paragraphs to mastering grammar and vocabulary.
Our reading and writing program empowers students to find their unique voice and engage with literature. We explore all kinds of texts, encouraging critical thinking and analysis. By providing a supportive environment and a process-oriented approach, we transform reluctant writers into enthusiastic communicators, ready to embrace the joy of writing.
Spark their interest
Students choose their own reading material. They have the opportunity to reflect on the text and engage creatively with the content.
Teach the process
Our homework guides students through the writing process. They will read, reflect, plan, and write. We also provide a checklist for students to self-edit before meeting with an instructor.
Receive feedback
Our educators use a rubric aligned with the Virginia Department of Education’s Writing Standards to score your child’s essay. We find teachable moments in the student’s work to discuss organization, detail, flow, mechanics, and grammar.
Set a goal
With help from their instructor and clear standards, students reflect on their work and make a plan for how to improve.
Revise
Students correct mechanical errors, rework clunky verbiage, elaborate on examples, and more in the final step of our process.
Math
Current research explains that process-based and highly visual math curriculum paired with explicit instruction is the most effective way for students to learn. Our curriculum is designed with the Virginia Department of Education’s Standards of Learning in mind to complement the content and instruction that kids receive in Loudoun County Public Schools, while also providing the individual instruction and creative teaching approaches that are needed to make learning fun and productive.
Our educators mentor students with essential problem-solving, critical thinking, and metacognitive skills. We cultivate a growth mindset, enabling students to become independent learners who are resilient, adaptable, and equipped to conquer any academic endeavor.
Empowerment means giving students what they need, whether that’s building a more solid foundation at their current grade level or exploring math concepts they’ll need in the future.
