Accelerated
Learning

Accelerated learning is a methodology and approach to teaching and to learning which allows students to:

  • Take in more information quickly with better understanding of practical application.

  • Quickly sort through large amounts of material to identify what is really important and useful.

  • Analyze and evaluate problems quickly reduce the required hours and hours of study and homework.

Experiential
Based Learning

Rather than giving students a set of facts to memorize and assess just the proof of memorization, our philosophy is to give students a set of concepts then let them try out their new information and opportunities in real life settings, with observational intent, and then assess and report on their findings and process. Experiential based learning is the key component in the process of self-discovery and enlightenment. (Traditional learning and assessment styles are also available to students).

Performance Based
Assessment

During the course of education and learning students learn new knowledge, acquire skills, develop work habits, etc. Traditional education measures what you know, or in many cases, what you can remember on the day of the class test.

Performance-based assessments represent a set of strategies for the application of knowledge, skills, and work habits through the performance of tasks in real-life that are meaningful and engaging to students. Performance Based Assessment focuses on how well you can use what you know. Application is the critical skill. You can always use the internet to look up what you do not know.
