Academics 

Your Student Will Acquire Deep Knowledge Through REBEL Project Experiences

We believe that humans learn best from other humans. While we do utilize technology, our instruction is driven by educators and interactive small group work. 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.

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.
