Philosophy
Our educational philosophy focuses on building a framework that integrates literacy in Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies and Technology.
School Curriculum
King’s Academy believes that all children can learn and demonstrate mastery in all subject areas when they are provided with a rigorous academic program in a caring and nurturing environment. The instructional program reflects the characteristics of the school’s community and focuses on enhancing the intellectual, physical, emotional and social development of the students. The curriculum addresses the academic needs of each student and offers multiple opportunities for success. The instructional program also provides equal opportunities for all students to be involved in a unique, innovative and relevant school experience. The school’s instructional practices accommodate diverse learning styles that will ensure rich experiences for all learners.
King’s Academy primary educational model is an integrated literacy program across the curriculum. Our integrated literacy program engages our students in learning tasks that involve higher order thinking skills across all content areas. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is used as our core curriculum along with other supplementary materials. This program is aligned with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s standards for curriculum as well as the state assessment. In this model, we use the 2+ Reading and Math Approach which is a 90 minute Reading/Language Arts block, 30 minutes of reading skill building, plus Title I, plus Reading Intervention and plus the KAED’s Program. The Math block includes, 45 minutes Math, 30 minutes of Math skills and practices, plus Title I, plus Math Intervention and plus the KAED’s Program. This model is designed to help our students gain a deeper understanding of complex issues and problems, as well as an understanding that knowledge across disciplines is interrelated and interactive.
