OUR EDUCATIONAL APPROACH
Our 4 Tenets
of Teaching & Learning
Miles Ahead is structured around the following four tenets within our instructional design of teaching and learning:
Whole Child Approach
Measuring academic success to include strong character development and cultural and global engagement
Student Growth and Achievement
Viewing students as individuals in their learning path and meeting them where they are in order to achieve growth
Purpose-Driven Learning Environment
Promoting a learning environment that includes both joy and rigor
Community
Engaging community members and families in the activities of school life to enhance the learning of our students
With these 4 tenets, we make sure that we are focused on the key aspects of making the learning experience a positive one for all of our students.
