3 Key Takeaways from This Episode:
Every student is unique:
No person is the same, and this goes for children as well as adults. At Prodigy, we see every child as a unique individual, and we structure their learning accordingly. Our students frequently experience growth at a much faster rate as a result.
Age doesn’t determine ability level:
If a group of 15-year-olds were put into a weight-lifting class, they would not be expected to perform at the exact same ability level. Why then, is this how our culture tends to approach education? At Prodigy, students are met at their current ability level, which allows for much more effective learning.
Layers of support are key:
A student with a strong foundation is supported by parents, multiple teachers, administrators, fellow students, and God. Surrounded by people with their best interests in mind, our students feel seen, heard, and safe. This helps provide a strong foundation from which their learning thrives.
About Prodigy Leadership Academy:
PLA is a Christian School where we believe children are loved and uniquely designed by God for great purposes. We meet our students where they are, understand them, and give them the highest level of support in their life journey.
