The main goal of this organization is to provide opportunities for students to grow in their areas of interest while learning how to work with others. We believe that communication is an important skill to have in order to grow yourself. In addition to being educational, our classes are interactive to teach students how to share and receive ideas. We like to say, "Be able to learn it today, and teach it tomorrow". Teaching requires an in-depth understanding of the concepts. Sometimes, students will ask questions that the teacher may not even know. This is a growing experience for both the teacher and the student. We believe that developing a conceptual understanding is very useful. This involves understanding WHY something works instead of simply memorizing it. This type of learning is a great way to prepare for challenges and will allow students to answer questions no matter which way they are asked. Therefore, we teach students to develop a conceptual understanding.
Our volunteers have a passion to give back to the community. These volunteers have been given great opportunities throughout their schooling, which has brought them to where they are today. They want to provide these opportunities for younger children. Join us in learning how to communicate your ideas and learn conceptually. Like we say, be able to learn it today and teach it tomorrow.
We will provide you with the skills needed to thrive in your areas of interest. Our volunteers teach based off of experience and their passion motivates them to teach this class. Plus, it's free!
We want to emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding instead of simply memorizing and using formulas. We also wants students to learn how to communicate their thoughts and ideas.
We want to expand this academy to many more students who are willing to develop skills in their areas of interest. Our students should be excited to go above and beyond what is taught in school.
