One-to-One Instruction
Rather than a large class ratio of 1:30, we teach core academics in the one-to-one model we founded over 30 years ago and have been perfecting ever since. This teaching model helps students’ master academic fundamentals and is proven to produce better learning outcomes.
21st Century Skills
Futures Academy go beyond core academics to prepare our students for the new economy. We teach the science of learning, along with robotics, coding, game design, digital arts, cyber security, storytelling, and more. Our 21st century skill electives help students explore their interests and find what they are passionate about pursuing after high school.
Learning How to Learn
Discovering how you learn best and cultivating successful study skills, mindsets, and habits is often taken for granted. Yet, these are the most important areas to develop. FA teach students how to study, why effort matters, and how to build grit and the growth mindset needed for learning in our Science of Learning courses & in Guided Study.
