WEEKDAYS - Alki Cottage Micro-School

A early elementary education program led by Teacher Brittany in a schoolhouse near Alki/Admiral.

Program Details

Program Description

This program will focus on personalized learning for each child, led by an one of the most talented educators in the Seattle area. Students will have the benefit of friendships and socialization, small class size, and quite a bit of individual attention in a tutor-like experience. There will also be a focus on plenty of outdoor learning and adventures in Schmitz Park and the Alki playfield, social and emotional growth, as well as honing the foundations of writing, math, science and art through project-based learning.

The ultimate goal is to foster reading, writing, math and science skills, and also helping each student become successful, lifelong learners.

We'll use the best of several research-based areas of curriculum with the overall goal of developing an excitement and curiosity for learning. Our focus is project-based learning, simulations, and traditional state offered personalized learning modules from Columbia Academy.

This program follows all CDC guidelines.
