Our educational focus is based on the study of Howard Gardner`s theory of Multiple Intelligence.
At the core of this theory is the recognition that people think and learn differently and that intelligence can be expressed in a multitude of ways.
This approach differs from the traditional education provided in public, and private schools in Florida.
Using the Common Core State Standards and Nationwide benchmarks, our teaching will incorporate each of the seven major intellectual domains defined by Dr.
Gardner and provide opportunities for each student to use his or her unique intelligence to understand the subject matter.
