At the core, my vision is to create an educational alliance with parents to offer a well-rounded educational program for children in our community.
My specialty is working with children who need a little bit something extra - patience, time, a gentle push to move forward and realize they are capable. The goal is to build confidence and a solid foundation.
Our program is for families who are looking for a partner that will provide the core curriculum and lessons for the school year, a learning instructor, support, accountability (when & where needed), assessments to determine any skills gaps and overall, a program that allows a student to have the best of both worlds - home learning seamlessly blended with classroom-based group learning.
Does that sound like something you're looking for? If so, let's learn more about our program!
Res Novae Academy is a unique type of education program known as a hybrid micro-education program. Our students attend class in a traditional classroom setting up to 2 times per week. Instructors provide the primary instruction in the classroom, create lesson plans and more. Parents are highly involved, facilitating learning on the days students are at home.
Our pedagogical approach is eclectic. Our vision is to combine project-based & inquiry-based learning methods along with the Charlotte Mason, Classical, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship approaches. This approach is designed to encourage students to think critically, deeply, and with a moral purpose. Our focus is ensuring students have solid math, grammar and reading foundations through skills-based scaffolding model.
At RNA, we know and celebrate that every child learns differently, and their educational needs cannot be met in a one-sized fits all model. Our mission to partner with parents is key to educating the whole child.
For some students, home education is the best fit. However, as a parent, this undertaking can be quite challenging navigating resources and instruction. The heartbeat of Res Novae Academy is to provide families a support community of like-minded families and educators.
What is a hybrid, micro-education program? It falls under the umbrella of "Micro-Schools". Hybrid programs are more structured than homeschool co-ops, but more flexible than conventional five-day schools. A few days per week, hybrid programs will look just like regular schools – with desks (tables) and teachers, etc. The other days, the students will look just like homeschoolers, working through lessons and activities, attending other interest-based learning programs, park days, and field trips with a parent.
We do not require parents to participate or share in the teaching of classes. This is a drop and go program.
We offer an enrichment program designed to support your child’s growth and success. Whether you are looking for a more personalized educational experience or seeking a community of like-minded families, we provide:
