Academics

The academic program uses a performance-based/mastery learning model of education. This model ensures mastery of specific skills and knowledge involving both individual and group instruction. The educational philosophy is founded upon the premises that:

1) All students can succeed

2) Success breeds success and

3) It is the responsibility of the school to provide the conditions for success.

Curriculum

The curriculum includes English (reading and literature, grammar, composition, and spelling), mathematics, Cultural Studies (history, geography, economics, government), science (life, earth, biology, physical science, chemistry, physics), art, music, and physical education as part of the regular program. Intensive English classes are offered to students who need additional help with English. Technology use is integrated across the curriculum. The school seeks to provide students with an appreciation for the rich culture and history of Slovenia. Materials and equipment are up to date and of high quality. Class sizes are small. Native English speaking experienced teachers are employed.
