Muvule Academy Distance Learning Structure
Learning
Our specialized curriculum balances socio-emotional enrichment with the mastery of foundational skills. Each child is guided in his or her own learning within the structure of our learning program, which is supported by best practices in early childhood and youth education. The unique flexibility of this curriculum allows us to continually challenge each child at his or her own pace.
Our caring and experienced teachers recognize and support individual needs and differences and, at the same time, stress teamwork and collaboration -- critical 21st-century skills. We encourage and challenge our students to advance and reach their full potential in every area and activity they explore, enhancing their critical thinking, creativity and self-expression. They confidently progress from concrete, multi-sensory experiences to abstract thinking in a true community based in kindness, respect, trust and honesty.
