School's Back in Session

The boys just began their 7th and 8th grade years on Monday, August 31st. We are so thrilled they are in a new charter school called Early Light Academy. We love the focus on collaborative learning and customizing the curriculum based about the children's level of knowledge. I know the kids will both strive in this type of environment. They encourage free thinking and discussion. It engages the kids and provides a hands on learning. I am also excited about the parent involvement required at the school. The school is fostering a community and in order for it to run successfully it requires teachers, students, and parents to all be involved. It will be fabulous for both Brian and I to really take an active role in the boys education rather than just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Another aspect we enjoy is the uniform and dress code policy. It made school shopping so easy and allows school to be about learning rather than the latest fashion trends. The boys actually love their uniforms and look so handsome heading off to school each day.

We are just starting into our second week but already can see how much the boys are enjoying the school.
