Schoolers | Towne Lake Academy

PROGRAM

Fostering independence, our students plan their own activities and set up their classroom as their Club House with areas to relax and read, write, draw, finish homework, work on the computer, play games, listen to music or just sit around and talk to friends.
Schoolers need realistic expectations and the opportunity to take part in making decisions and finding out what happens because of decisions they individually make or the class makes as a team.
Small and large group participation facilitates positive people and social skills, a must for school age children.

Plenty of time is spent outside playing ball, badminton, crochet, jump scotch, or climbing the equipment.
Physical activity is an easy tool to release built up energy after spending much of their day in a structured school classroom sitting at a desk.
Homework is important and has to be done, however Schoolers are always hungry upon afternoon arrival so snacks are served first, then outside to burn off some of that energy.
Communication is probably the most important activity we do with our Schoolers. We ask questions, listen for answers and value the talk! Sharing information is essential and both the student and the teacher make this happen by talking about what is happening in school, at home, in the community and around the world.
Our afternoon talks are about learning, sharing the fun and excitement of new skills and encouraging Schoolers to think about the future. The circles of home, community, school and Towne Lake Academy overlap. We are proud that the School Age Club Room is one of the circles your child happily lives in.
