Our Mission, Goal, and Philosophy
Our Mission
The mission of Chance Academy is to be an educational community that serves as a center for learning for students and their families and fosters environmental stewardship, wellness, peace-building, cultural literacy, and community and belonging.
Our Goal
To guide our students to be balanced, compassionate, forward-thinking, out-of-the-box individuals.
Who We Are
We are a private, affordable educational community. Let us start there. Yes, it takes a village to raise a child. And we are also taking our rightful place in molding young minds to become well-learned, compassionate thinkers who confidently pursue their next educational or career path. Our small classes, cohort groupings, and community-building focus offer a unique learning path and connection with teachers.
What We Do
We actively engage the mind and the heart of our students. We guide young people to be confident, compassionate, out-of-the-box thinkers. At Chance Academy, social-emotional learning is more than the latest buzzword. It is our focus. We know how these skills help increase self-awareness, academic achievement and make for a more positive experience in and outside of the classroom. We are not just teaching – we are equipping.
How We Do It
By offering equitable access: no one is turned away for inability to pay our modest tuition. By unlocking personal talents; our whole child approach with caring teachers helps each student discover and celebrate their unique talents. By promoting self-confidence and critical thinking; our arts-integrated learning, challenging curriculum, and focus on creative problem-solving equip our students to face the challenges of an ever-changing world.
Why We Exist
Chance Academy is at the forefront of redesigning education to address 21st-century challenges. From an endangered environment to endless social media feeds, our students face a rapidly changing and demanding world. They must be independent and critical thinkers, adaptable problem solvers, and compassionate citizens. Our comprehensive approach to learning empowers students with the skills to become our next leaders. They will have the strong sense of self, the agile mind, and the creativity to be change-makers in their communities and beyond.
