Our Philosophy; Education should promote the growth and development of the whole child, including physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Families and schools should be partners dedicated to growth and development of children. Family life is critical to the grown and development of the child. Formal schooling should not infringe upon family life through excessive homework and unreasonable expectations. Formal schooling is just one way to help individuals learn.
We value all learning opportunities in the home, the school, and the community. Through the arts, students learn the values of drive, discipline, creativity, self-reliance, empathy, and diversity. Quality learning experiences through the arts connect academic disciplines and provide a broad intellectual context for learning. A school should be an exciting, vital community of learners where students and teachers are challenged to grow. Children should be joyful and have fun at school!
The Millennium Difference Millennium Academy differs from more traditional schools in many ways: Much of the instruction is delivered through “hands-on” activities. Students learn academic subjects through participation in a wide variety of activities, with an emphasis on the arts. Other instructional strategies include computer assisted learning, small group “seminars” and collaborative instruction. Technology is included as part of the curriculum for every child. Students are expected to learn keyboarding skills, a variety of applications, and how to use the Internet for research. Students learn about a variety of other technologies including lighting, sound, music, synthesizers, and special effects used in the arts. Millennium Academy will also be offering credit advancement and recovery through online classes.
