Our Values

We believe in an approach to learning and teaching based on learning science and evidence. We know that in a typical class, students enter with a wide range of levels, and with different gaps and competencies to their peers.
Students should not be constrained to work "at grade level"; rather, they should grow along a continuum towards a clear goal, from wherever they happen to be.
We believe that students need to learn in a variety of modes. They should develop confidence with digital technology and hand-written skills, and have opportunities for hands-on learning, group work and discourse.
We believe that courses should be structured around effective student learning first, not around reporting requirements. Assessments should be diagnostic and formative; they should reflect, measure and enhance student learning.
