Teaching Philosophy

Gradale Academy embraces the outdoors throughout our day. Our outdoor classrooms are protected year-round from altering weather, and consists of picnic tables, mats, blankets, and reseliency. Gradale Academy students benefit each day from the healthy outdoors giving them a SAFE space to learn. Outdoor learning can create a calmer, quieter setting and allows for a more creative and exploratory learning environment. It increases attention span, sparks an interest in learning, relieves stress, and promotes self motivation. Learning amongst nature excels our students and fosters personal skills for future success. These include perserverance, problem solving, leadership, and confidence. All qualities needed for children to thrive in today's world. At Gradale Academy, we focus on situational-based learning to help students make daily connections with nature. Our coupling of strong academics with a unique environment makes it the ideal private school for your child to learn and prosper. It is through these techniques that we develop confidence and self-esteem; the true meaning behind a successful learner. All students are given the opportunity to learn at their own level by providing individual attention from qualified teachers. Each student learns independence, self-confidence and a strong self-worth with advanced language and social skills.
