Empowering Self-Directed Learning: A Gradual and Personalized Approach for All Ages
At Village Academy San Diego, we prioritize self-directed learning as a path to cultivating independent, motivated lifelong learners. Our approach caters to students of all ages, gradually transitioning them into self-directed learners. Our youngest learners benefit from a structured introduction, while older students enjoy increasing autonomy. We divide our mornings into distinct sessions for language arts and math, fostering executive functioning skills and collaborative learning. This holistic approach equips our students with the tools and mindset needed for a lifetime of self-directed, purposeful learning.
