At Lewis
Carroll Academy we believe that each child has an innate desire
to learn. We encourage this desire by setting high standards and
providing a challenging curriculum that is geared to each child's
needs. Each subject is given a purpose and a use in life. We incorporate
a study technology developed by writer and educator L. Ron Hubbard,
that teaches a student how to study and apply any subject.
While we emphasize
that each student have a strong foundation in all academic basics,
we also work with each student individually to ensure that he has
a study program that aligns with and forwards his personal goals.
Each child is
a creator in his own way, and we encourage every aspect of this
in our school environment. We recognize that each child has his
own special qualities. There is no mold that each child is expected
to fit. Individuality and personal goals are nurtured.
In addition
to the strong academic curriculum, Lewis Carroll Academy places
an emphasis on the arts. The visions of the artist become the reality
of tomorrow. Learning about the art form itself is extremely valuable.
Additionally, each student participating in our arts program learns
and practices the value of professionalism, responsibility and teamwork.
These qualities are valuable in any area of life, whether or not
the child has a desire to pursue a professional career in the arts.
Standards
Another unique
quality of Lewis Carroll Academy, and where we differ from most
learning institutions, is that the student is taught to understand
one hundred percent of what is being studied. He does not memorize
just to pass a test, and is not passed up if he has not understood
his materials yet. Our standard is that each student be able to
APPLY what he has studied.
To this end,
our school includes the Qualifications Department. This department
is responsible for seeing that the student is learning each subject
to the fullest extent. Our highly qualified examiners routinely
spend one-on-one time with the students to ensure that they are
learning the subject to 100 percent understanding. This means that
students don't move from chapter to chapter, or indeed from grade
to grade, with the equivalent of a "D", "C"
or even "B" average.
Study
Methods
Lewis Carroll
Academy incorporates a simple yet extremely effective study technology
developed by educator and writer
L. Ron Hubbard. Through Mr. Hubbard's extensive research in the
area of study and education, he discovered that there are certain
barriers any student can encounter that can prevent him from being
able to learn. Our students learn about these barriers, how to detect
them and how to handle them. With these tools of learning, a student
can master any subject - not only in school, but throughout his
life.
