What is the instituitions philosophy?
Continental Academy was established by seasoned educators, who maintain that the traditional classroom-based model for secondary education is unsuitable for a significant, alienated and disenfranchised portion of the population. It is the view of this institution that for many students, a standard, directed-learning model, which does not account for real-world learning barriers, is ineffective. Many students benefit from a composite directed/ constructivist model, which provides specific curriculum and objectives (those specified as required for high school graduation by The State of Florida, Department of Education’s Sunshine State Standards for Secondary Education), but allows the student to individualize his/her learning experiences by navigating through the coursework at his/her own pace.
