Why Do Our Scholars Love Our School?

Marley, 2nd Grade Scholar

Marley is a first-year scholar in the 2nd grade; learning English-Language Arts and Integrated Studies at the 3rd/4th grade level, with a small group of learners from across the country. Marley is passionate about learning and expresses herself maturely, particularly when we discuss differing perspectives in our history class.

Arina, Kindergartener

Marley, 2nd Grade Scholar

Arina is a first-year kindergarten scholar with a vibrant personality that is contagious. Arina reads wonderfully well and is quite the scientist. Arina also learns American Sign Language, Mandarin Chinese, and is learning to play the recorder in her music class. Her kindergarten teacher holds a Masters in Education from Pfeiffer University.

Hear From A Few Elementary Scholars

Emma, Elementary Scholar

Emma is a first-year scholar in the fifth grade, (well, technically she is the age of a fifth grader). Emma is in a small class of seven scholars, learning at a 6th+ grade level in English-Language Arts and Integrated Studies. For math, Emma is learning algebra I (typically a class for advanced eighth graders). Emma also produces a bi-monthly blog that she shares with our elementary scholars (her passion project), has started our Scholars Running Club (leadership skills in action), & is very interested in learning about the Holocaust.

Penelope, Kindergartener

Emma, Elementary Scholar

Penelope is a first-year, kindergarten scholar who spends her days learning with other 5-year-olds from California and Charlotte, NC. Her kindergarten teacher holds a Masters in Education from Pfeiffer University. Penelope has enjoyed learning to read, gaining number sense and conceptual mathematics knowledge, engages in hands-on, inquiry-based science three + days a week, studies nature as her passion project, is learning American Sign Language (ASL) and beginning recorder in music class. Penelope is thriving and her parents could not be happier with her Scholars Academy experience. :)

We Collaboratively Build Each Scholar's Unique Schedule

Katherine has maintained an unweighted 4.0 grade point average.

Sarah, 9th Grade Scholar

Sarah is in her second year as a scholar of Dr. Lowder. Last year, Sarah completed both 7th and 8th grade requirements and has now accelerated fully into the 9th grade.

Genetics, our integrated English Language Arts with World History (Modern) course taught by Harvard graduate, Ms. Tauschinger-Dempsey, and two self-paced courses (she'll complete in February, as well).
