- A
Personal Approach -- At New Leaf Academy girls prep boarding schools each student has her own Individual Academic Plan designed personally for her. Staff members base her plan upon her outcomes from a wide range of assessments that test academic progress and personality. They consider her personal academic history, her individual strengths and weaknesses, and her personal learning style.
- Education of the "Whole Child" - The private boarding school's educational philosophy is the development of the whole person: socially and emotionally as well as academically. For this reason academic and counseling staff members work closely together and discuss each student's progress at least once weekly.
- Parents oversee their daughter's program - Through Parent Check-in, parents can view their child's daily work and progress, and check quiz and other test scores on line. Parents provide motivation to keep their child on track.
- Developing Seven Kinds of Intelligence - The Academy recognizes Harvard professor Howard Gardner's work that human intelligence is multi-dimensional and that teachers can develop lessons for each of the following:
Linguistic Intelligence ("word smart")
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial Intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily- Intelligence ("body smart")
Musical Intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal Intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal Intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist Intelligence ("nature smart")
- A Traditional College Preparatory Curriculum - The Academy offers a solid grounding in English, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. However, students can choose between a wide range of courses like journalism, astronomy, foreign language and computer science as well as a variety of art and physical education classes.
- A Proven Record of Achievement - Students study in small classes with individual attention from their teachers. They complete between one and one a half-hours of supervised homework per day. Most students gain between one and four years of grade level improvement during their time at New Leaf Academy.
