Eagle Creek ~ Our Approach to K-6 Education

Customized Learning

Picture
  • The teachers write an action plan for each student based on his strengths and challenges.
  • We adjust our daily lessons to give each child exactly what he  needs.
  • We communicate often with parents to identify growth and plan next steps.
  • Children learn strategies to help themselves.
  • Children gain self-confidence.

Small Groups

Picture
  • We always have one teacher for every 14 to 16 children.
  • Our teachers separate their children into small groups of 2 to 8 children for focused learning activities.
  • The teacher works with each small group independently.
  • The children may get the same work or different work, depending on their ability.
  • With such small class sizes, and with our very small work groups, the children learn concepts faster and internalize them more deeply.

Challenging Lessons

Picture
  • We plan for the right balance of rigorous learning and good fun.
  • We use internationally recognized textbooks and curriculum materials.
  • We teach with an inquiry-based approach. Children learn to ask good questions, find answers, and think hard.
  • Children learn to read and write well.
  • Eagle Creek students consistently get high scores on standardized tests.

Hands-on Activities

Picture
  • For math, at all ages levels, we use hands-on tools, games and projects, so children can process how math works.
  • In science, we do the experiments first, so we can discover the properties of science for ourselves.
  • Children learn and remember everything better when they are active.
  • Note for at-home learners: our work packets (K-2) and assignments (3-6) include many ideas for hands-on, home activities.
  • Being active is fun!

Advanced Math

Picture
  • From kindergarten through sixth grade, we do at least 50 minutes of math per day.
  • Note for K-2 at-home learners: our work packets include math activities. 
  • Note for 3-6 at-home learners: the live online math classes are 50 minutes long. Get your pencils ready!
  • Advanced students may work in a high group in their classroom or with the children in the next grade up.
  • 6th grade students may take Math 6 or Advanced Math 6.

All Kinds of Diversity

Picture
  • We celebrate diversity through daily lessons.
  • Our curriculum materials present a variety of world views.
  • We plan holiday parties, food tastings, concerts, guest speakers and field trips that help us learn about the world.
  • We consciously choose books, posters, dolls, and toys that represent all kinds of diversity.
