Academics 


Your Student Will Acquire Deep Knowledge Through REBEL Project Experiences

Our approach cultivates a generation of creative, curious, free thinking, problem solvers through an education that embraces differing abilities.

Rigorous academics are a cornerstone of students’ development and advancement at UP Academy®. Educators help students plan and direct their studies to match their goals. Students participate in projects to enhance learning, gain new skills and make academics relevant.

Project Based Learning - learners explore concepts through experiences and apply what they learn to solve problems and reflect on the results, receiving instruction along the way. This dynamic, inquiry based method is the opposite of rote memorization.

Differentiated Learning - students are grouped by their level of skill and challenge, not by age or grade. This allows each student to work at their “just right” level of challenge.

Inquiry Based Learning - by asking questions and developing the skills to research and find their own answers we build students confidence while encouraging their curiosity.

Neurodevelopment Program - We believe every child is capable of reaching independence and gaining the skills necessary to be successful in life - we help our disabled students achieve this via our commitment to assumed competence, conductive education, and collaboration. This is the opposite of Special Ed.

Emotional intelligence requires self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill. When young students develop and practice these qualities, they have the ability to work well with others and are effective in leading change.

Physical Movement improves the flow of blood in the brain, helping students to learn more easily. Exercise improves mood which creates a positive effect on cognitive functioning and emotional intelligence. In addition, movement stimulates production of muscle protein and the genes responsible for learning and memory. Kids need to move, it energizes and revitalizes so they can focus and learn.
