Our Curriculum
The core curriculum of Liberty Academy is shaped by the Florida Department of Education Framework for grades K-5. Within the structure of our classes, there is enrichment and/or acceleration across all subject areas. A unique combination of teaching styles guides gifted children in the development of higher-level thinking skills.
Our curriculum builds on fundamentals to promote a firsthand, discovery approach to learning. Children work both independently and in groups on projects that stimulate their powers of logic and imagination. Creative problem solving, divergent thinking, research, and self-evaluation are emphasized in each classroom, in tandem with more traditional skills. At the same time, our children are assisted in developing essential social skills, sensitivity to and respect for others, effective communication, and self-esteem. Guiding them are talented educators whose awareness of the needs of intellectually gifted children inspires teaching that is both dynamic and nurturing. As we progress through the year, we hope to achieve the following objectives:
Provide an environment in which the student will feel safe and happy • Help the student feel good about him/herself to build self-esteem
Use your child's interest and experiences as the basis for learning activities • Help the student develop a love for learning
Develop you child's problem-solving abilities
Encourage your child's creativity
Develop your child's socialization skills
Encourage the student to work independently and with peers
Encourage the student to ask questions which will be answered sincerely and honestly as appropriate to their age and level of comprehension
