Lessons Come to Life
We make learning an adventure! Your scholar will experience technology, interactive lessons, enriching field trips, fun extracurricular activities, and hands-on learning. Lessons come to life through the use of Chromebooks, allowing our teachers to see scholar's real-time progress and deliver tailored feedback in the moment, providing an engaging learning experience for each scholar.
We believe in giving shine, nurturing growth, and celebrating the glow in each scholar. Feedback is at the heart of our community, driving us to improve together.
Two Teacher Approach
In every kindergarten through second-grade classroom, two teachers work together in each classroom provide personalized learning experiences tailored to each scholar's skills, strengths, and needs.
Technology
We embrace technology and ensure all scholars feel comfortable and confident using the latest technology. Scholars here use 2:1 technology, which means one Chromebook at school and one Chromebook at home to continue education at home. Our Cliffs and Glenville campuses offer unique tech-focused Learning Labs! These spaces were designed for students to get hands-on learning experiences with new technologies like augmented and virtual reality, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence.
Family Partnership Office
The Family Partnership Office provides network-wide leadership to enhance parent voice and support culturally responsive, equitable, and effective family partnerships at all Breakthrough schools. The ultimate goals are to improve the family experience, engagement, and satisfaction and contribute to scholars' academic success.
