To Each a Unique Path…
A small, K-12 school located in Durham, NC with a mastery-based approach to learning. Classes are small, curriculum is individualized, and each student is appropriately challenged.
How Students Learn
Mastery-Based Learning (pioneered by Dr. Benjamin Bloom) enables all students to achieve to the highest level of their ability, while ensuring that no student moves on without mastering key concepts needed for future success. Each student is given a pretest so the teacher can determine existing skills and knowledge. Instruction begins where demonstrated mastery ends. Demonstrated mastery – a score of 80% or better – allows the student to move on from that material. True individualization requires both small classes and a small school with a commitment to sustained flexibility and reflective practice.
A Community That Feels Like Family
