THE SIMON SCHOOL

Who is the ideal student for The Simon School?

​

*Is your current school so large your student is one of thousands? Each teacher has 100-200 students' names, grades, interests, and needs to keep track of?

​

*Does your school place more emphasis on sports or extra-curricular activities than on the foundational academics that comprise school?

​

*Is  a significant portion of the Spring term taken up with standardized tests?

​

*Is your student able to do well on tests, but doesn't remember what they learned?

​

*Is your student developing anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, or low self-esteem because of the FSA and other high stakes testing?

​

*Do the same 10 kids always get all the accolades?

​

*Does it sometimes feel like your student is not being challenged or that the curriculum pace is not being set for their best interests & personal needs?

​

*Does your student struggle on reading or writing tests and you worry they will learn to hate reading and hate school?

​

*Do you wish your student was required to read entire novels, titles that were required when you went to school?

​

*Do you wish there was less politicization and more character-building in school?

​

*Do you worry that your student may be doing well, but not well enough to thrive in the competitive world of work or college?

​

The Simon School addresses those concerns and creates a space for everyone to become their best self.

Our ideal student is the student that could benefit from a smaller environment, one where they are heard and encouraged to lead and thrive academically and socially.
