East End Christian Academy - a thriving “micro-school” on Richmond’s east end. Micro-schools are part of the educational revolution that is taking place across our nation as parents seek the best possible learning environment for their kids to thrive in.
What is a micro-school, and how can it benefit my child and our family?
Our micro-school values:
We seek to create an environment that fosters healthy relationships and academic excellence.
The environment can make or break academic achievement. Our micro-school setting fosters an environment that invites connection, relationship with teachers, and communication with parents. Our goal is for kids to feel at peace and able to focus while in class.
Families are essential to the academic process, and our school’s role is to help the family accomplish its goals for kids.
We are here for families and desire to be a support so that the family can accomplish its goals. We all have dreams for our kids and see it as part of our responsibility to help parents make those dreams become a reality on the academic side of life.
Learning is personalized to the needs of the child.
Whether a student has gaps in learning due to the recent challenges faced as a country from Covid 19 or otherwise or a student who is excelling and seeking early graduation, our curriculum options are personalized in such a way that the child will find success.
Learning how to learn is a part of day-to-day instruction.
Our academics are not set up simply for a test to be able to be passed. We desire to help kids learn how to learn so that they will thrive throughout life’s future opportunities. Whether learning the value of note-taking, how to study effectively, or how to interact with their peers, our environment will help kids learn important life skills.
Kids have the opportunity to build close-knit relationships with one another and the team.
Our kids won’t simply pass one another as they traverse hallways in huge buildings. Our micro-school environment allows classes to become close-knit relational units that grow and thrive together.
Character growth is valued as highly as academics.
Our role as a micro-school is to serve parents in helping their children grow in character. Character makes or breaks us, more so than academics ever will.
