Learning in small groups fosters a more personalized and interactive educational experience. Students are more likely to engage in meaningful discussions, collaborate, and feel safe to fail in small groups.
This setting also nurtures a sense of belonging and community, crucial for emotional and social development during the teen years. And let's be honest - it's really hard to hide socially or academically in a small group.
With computers in their pockets - students no longer need to memorize facts and figures... Rather, teens should be equipped with:
We engage our students in hands-on, brains-on activities daily.
Real-world skills developed through project-
based learning.
Collaborative work environment with mixed-age classrooms.
Real physical fitness enables students to build confidence and community around healthy lifestyle choices.
Students set, track, and achieve individualized goals. To stay on track, we utilize daily, and weekly check-ins and group accountability.
Letting their questions guide the discussions and research.
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to
have tried to succeed.”
At Apogee Dripping Springs, our students learn in a collaborative setting. Our flexible approach challenges each student with their own learning plan and inspires them through real-world projects and experiences.
