WHY WORK WITH AN EDUCATIONAL THERAPIST?

IS EDUCATIONAL THERAPY DIFFERENT THAN "tutoring”?

In a word: YES!

Tutors will teach the same thing over and over, using repetition to enforce learning.

An Educational Therapist will recognize that many children struggle with a variety of learning issues and need various modes of instruction to be successful including confidence. Our instructors can quickly impact those learning issues with differentiated instruction to help our students to catch up, close gaps in learning and/or to advance skills.

Micro-Pods

"Moving Beyond the Page"

“

“I truly believe, with guidance, all children have the capability of setting individual academic goals, to be authentically and actively engaged, and to be charge of their learning. What better physical and mental exercise is there for creating independent learners primed for changing the world”.

Dr. Rymsky Labat

Alexa Young, CA

What are Micro Pods or Micro Schooling? It is defined as a “mid-point” between traditional schooling and homeschooling. Micro-Pods may be the perfect choice for some families who chose to access education for their children in a more non-traditional way. Micro Pods, sometimes also referred as “learning pods”, is basically the reimagining of the one-room schoolhouse, where class sizes are usually fewer than 15 students of varying ages, and the schedule and curriculum is tailored to fit the needs of each student and each class and if or when a family chooses to return to a more traditional education setting in the future, your child will be ready!

The Annex Academy will provide a unique educational experience for our students that meets their individual needs. Our Micro Pods or Micro Schooling program is designed to give children the opportunity to learn in a small setting, with the support of a dedicated teacher and peers. We believe this approach offers the perfect balance between traditional schooling and homeschooling.

The Annex Academy- Micro Pod program is designed to complement a student's existing homeschool instruction and give them the additional boost they need to succeed. Our experienced teachers offer academic instruction in a variety of subjects, as well as guidance on organizational skills and study habits. Our goal is to make sure that every student is able to reach their full potential.
