Social Studies: Preparing Students for the Real World
Social studies cover multiple fields of education; the Athlos Academic curriculum focuses on not only helping young students learn in depth in a classroom setting, but also through hands-on experiences, local connections, and community support.
How A Growth Mindset Allows Students to Choose Their Future
Through incorporating a growth mindset into daily student learning, Athlos schools help students set a foundation of confidence and skills they can often rely on as they enter future education and career opportunities.
Reading, Writing, Math: Developing Confident Problem Solvers
In the Athlos Academics curriculum, when it comes to reading, writing, and math, it’s more than what students learn, but how they learn, comprehend, and apply their newfound knowledge to real-world problems.
Attendance Matters: The Impact of Tardiness on Student Success
Good school attendance often starts with smaller steps, such as arriving and leaving on time. At Athlos schools, some of the most important learning opportunities for students occur in the morning where they often participate in class huddles, morning announcements, and develop relationships with their peers.
Student-Led Conferences: Helping Children Lead
At Athlos Academies, student-led conferences take the place of traditional parent-teacher conferences. These conferences help students take ownership of their learning as they honestly reflect on their progress, discuss their successes and challenges, and set goals for the future.
