Some students do not fit into the traditional system and have a characteristic feature that distinguishes them at school: they get bored and do not fit the mold. This mold is designed to carry out perfect harmony within the educational system. At West River Academy (WRA), we are pleased to receive these types of students because of their indomitable spirit.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

In our day-to-day, as an educational institution, we receive emails, requests, and inquiries from parents who are concerned<\/strong> about their children. They worry they cannot fulfill themselves as human beings, as they are labeled within the traditional educational system.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These parents feel the pain of their children and their frustration at not being able to help them and ask with great sadness that we help them end this situation expeditiously; They ask us to advance years and certify degrees together<\/strong> so that their children can graduate from the educational system as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

At WRA, we understand these family situations and discomforts very closely. This is why we are a solution for these demands; only it is impossible to do it the way said parents want. The good news is we have a much better counteroffer: Convert Life Experiences into Academic Credits.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Take a breath and stop to smell the roses<\/h2>\n

Knowing oneself, doing it at our own pace, and enjoying life<\/strong> are the fundamental pillars of our school. It is learning and educating yourself with your study plan and doing it in the order and rhythm you want: as each family feels and decides.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We do not recommend advancing years, certifying degrees together, and graduating early<\/strong>, because, being an institution established and legalized in the United States, this option can only be possible for early admission to the University or Technical School. Otherwise, it is not possible to advance degrees. And with our proposal, it is not necessary to promote years either.<\/span><\/p>\n

We offer you to enter our institution with open content,<\/strong> we do not have a study plan, so your son or daughter will not have to get bored with pre-established content; instead, they can study what they want at the level they enjoy<\/strong> and not settle with the curricular design imposed by the traditional model.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do your children love math and science?<\/strong> , at <\/span>Khan Academy<\/span><\/a>, the curriculum of studies up to Calculus II will be at your disposal. It’s even a great idea to encourage them to start with what they want to learn and realize that they could review and study previous content to reach their goal: at their own pace, in the order he wants, and as many times as he likes!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do your kids love the arts and language?<\/strong> , in <\/span>Kubrio<\/span><\/a>, they will find endless artistic expressions, clubs, intensive courses, and study groups with this dye. In Kubrio, there is also space for the sciences, only that its members have taken it more towards the artistic, learning science through debates and creative expressions as projects. With people from all over the world!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do your children love sports?<\/strong> In your town, there are thousands of options at different levels. The body is a machine that is forged, and sports need muscle memory, and this takes time. We have many students who train 12 to 18 hours a week. They are holistically focused on reaching their goals!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do they love to delve into everything?<\/strong> They have 24 hours a day to choose<\/strong> what they want to learn. With video games, books, movies, and live. Why rush this extraordinary time?<\/span><\/p>\n

At WRA, we focus more on helping you do what you love rather than on completing a list of knowledge to go from one grade to the next<\/strong> and then forget it. Each person has a gift that is accompanied by one or more interests. And that’s what we’re aiming for.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

How to certify without the official curricular design?<\/h2>\n

One of our benefits as an educational institution is being able <\/strong><\/span>to certify<\/a><\/strong> a school grade each year,<\/strong> respecting the official subjects, and adding, in the case of high school, some elective subjects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents can request a <\/strong><\/span>transcript of grades<\/a><\/strong> each year<\/strong> and thus certify each year from preschool. If the educational goal at home is to graduate from high school, they can wait for the last four years of high school and certify only those four years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The four years the student must accredit to graduate from high school must be equivalent in your country to the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades in the United States.<\/strong> And these four years must be completed in 4 different years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Said transcription of notes will be the equivalent of what the student experienced.<\/strong> By making an annual summary or report of what you have learned, you will realize that you have covered every aspect of it: math, language, science, biology, etc., only with your curriculum, time, and depth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our proposal to students who do not fit into the educational system.<\/h2>\n

We live one year at a time. We don’t have a remote control that advances us years at will. We live them all and learn accordingly. At West River Academy, we encourage families to live their education through natural learning.<\/strong> It is unnecessary to advance years when you find a proposal so human and adapted to your day-to-day. There is no need to rush to live.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
