Yes, we offer a part-time school day, subject to availability.

Our classroom will include students of mixed ages, abilities, nationalities, and prior education experience. Children will receive guidance based on their individual academic evaluations in each subject area. In one class, student performance will be stretched or strengthened to make sure each student receives what they need to continue growing.

This is a sample of our daily agenda Monday – Thursday. The timeline will be flexible based on how students respond to each content objective, with weekly goals being prioritized over the daily timeline.

There will be real life observation- and discussion-based homework assigned as needed. Students will not need to complete homework everyday, and it will usually not be worksheet or writing assignments.

Just as in life, self-awareness in our education is critical. While we won’t administer standardized tests, assessments (via project work, one-on-one support, and written evaluations) will help our teaching team to better understand what your child needs and communicate effectively with parents about how to set, support, and accomplish realistic goals based on each child’s individual talents.

Not yet…but Steps in Life is working on implementing a meal program

We believe there is an important balance in guiding and autonomy which includes supervising

By following a combination of more modern practices surrounding the school day, including schedules for class times, breaks and supervision by an adult, we strive to implement a structure that will feel more familiar to the standard you’re likely familiar with while also putting in place an opportunity for your children to express themselves openly, interact with one another in a healthy and productive manner and succeed overall.

Our goal is to keep class sizes small enough to continue the individualized instruction. Parents can expect 14-20 students per class. Classes of 12+ students will be supported by a teaching assistant.

Parents will receive regular communication and updates from teachers that share progress and setbacks along with action plans in-school and recommendations for support at home if needed. Steps in Life views the parent – teacher relationship as a TEAM to make sure your child has everything they need to succeed, and we’re committed to an open two-way dialogue that facilitates constant growth.

Students will be issued an email account that they will be asked to create and monitor on a regular basis to support project work, time management, and organizational skills.

We love our parents taking an interest in their child’s journey and welcome your participation. This can look many ways: setting up for special events, sharing one of your skills, assisting in the classroom, organizing an event. Send us a communication for what you have in mind as we love volunteers 🙂
