Pillars of Personalized Learning

Blended Learning

Utilizing differentiated one-to-one lessons structured by internal staff, each student moves independently through the coursework receiving additional assistance or advanced learning opportunities when applicable. 

Enrichments Opportunities

Quarterly, students are provided with the opportunity to enroll in one enrichment class, exposing them to new interests or furthering their previous experiences in one or more of the five extended learning arenas.

Character development

By formally measuring the five BNS character traits on a regular basis, students are provided with ongoing feedback related to their growth and understanding in these important developmental areas.
