Learning at the Atrium School

Core academic skills are the foundations for 21st Century learners.  Strong English, mathematics, technology, and science skills form the focus of education at the Atrium. As the pace of our society becomes even faster and global, successful students must adapt to frequent change, learn very quickly, and, most importantly, work well as a member of a team.

Since our founding, the Atrium has been helping children learn how to ask questions and find answers, cherish diversity and differences, and build effective, deep relationships.

Academics at the Atrium School are focused on giving students the critical thinking skills required of successful 21st Century citizens. At the Atrium School, the “three Rs” have become four Rs — respect, relate, and research in the real world. Atrium students learn how to learn and how analyze and synthesize information and work independently and in collaborative environments.

In the classroom, progressive education revolves around hands-on experiences that bring reading, writing, math, and science into clear focus through thematic project-based academics in an environment where children are inspired and prepared to take risks in order to achieve higher levels of thinking and learning.

At the Atrium, we prepare our students for success in middle school, high school, and beyond through examining multiple viewpoints and approaches, utilizing primary sources of information, emphasizing hands-on learning, and rolling up our sleeves.
