We are committed to providing our students with the highest quality education, delivered by educators who are passionate about teaching and dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals.
Evidence-Based Education
We are dedicated to regularly and systematically assessing and evaluating student progress to ensure they are on track to meet their goals, and make adjustments as needed. Through a variety of assessment tools, constructive feedback, and parental involvement, we empower our students to take ownership of their learning, continuously improve, and reflect on their own progress. Our educators also strive for continuous improvement in their instruction, by regularly evaluating and adjusting their teaching methods to enhance student learning outcomes.
Family Engagement
Gabby's Classroom is dedicated to fostering active and ongoing communication and collaboration with families to keep them informed about their child's progress and to involve them in the learning process. We believe that a strong partnership between families, students, and educators is essential for student success and strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all.
A Nurturing and Empowering Learning Environment
We create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable, confident, and empowered to take risks, ask questions, and actively engage in their own learning. Our educators will foster a sense of belonging, encourage open communication and collaboration, and promote a growth mindset to support the student's academic, personal, and social development. We also prioritize fostering independence and self-directed learning, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning and to set their own goals, with guidance from educators. We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse learning environment where all students feel valued, respected, and supported.

We believe that this approach leads to long-term retention of knowledge and the ability to apply the material in various contexts. Our educators use a variety of teaching strategies such as inquiry-based learning, concept mapping, and real-world connections to promote conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills.
