Can Ideal Schools benefit college-bound students with language-based learning differences or attention deficit concerns?
Our school provides a curriculum that is interesting and relevant to students, and students complete projects and portfolio-based assessments that are distinguished from the timed, high-stakes examinations that characterize traditional schools. Therefore, our approach can benefit students who face challenges in traditional schools because of language-based learning differences or attention difficulties. With regard to attention deficit diagnoses, it may be the case that a traditional high school curriculum is not rich, challenging, or engaging enough to hold a student’s attention, while a project-based and personalized approach in a small school setting would be. We believe that traditional schools are not very successful at holding any student’s attention, so our approach should help any college-bound student learn and achieve more.
