Going to the same school from preschool through high school can have a major effect on a student’s growth, especially when it comes to building confidence. At Shining Light Academy, we offer a stable and comfortable learning environment that not only instills confidence, but also gives our students many chances to learn and grow.
Curious about what else your child can gain from continuity in education? Keep reading to learn more.
- Comfort and Familiarity. One of the best things about going to the same school throughout childhood and adolescence is that it makes students feel at ease. They get used to the teachers, the staff, and the way the school is set up, helping them focus on their studies and personal growth without worrying about changes or feeling out of their comfort zone.
- Established Relationships. Our students can build strong bonds with both their teachers and friends over time. By the time they’re in high school, they’ve established a close-knit community, giving them a support system that’s hard to replicate in other settings. Having these kinds of ties can boost self-esteem and give them the confidence they need to reach their goals.
- Progressive Learning. Our well-structured and progressive program gives students the opportunity to keep learning and improving their skills without having to stop and start over when they switch schools. Further, teachers are able to communicate with one another about the strengths and weaknesses from class to class, student to student, and year to year. This slow, steady growth builds their confidence while also strengthening their skills and knowledge.
- Opportunities for Leadership. Our setting gives students the confidence they need to take on leadership roles, whether that’s being the captain of their high school sports team or the leader of the science club. Being comfortable in a place and around people provides the spark to take a leap into opportunities beyond the normal comfort zone. Plus, our smaller student body provides an increase in available chances to lead!
- Emotional Resilience. The ability to deal with problems is an important part of learning. When children are in the same program from preschool to high school, they are around faculty and staff who have long-term, vested interest in them and are able to offer feedback, support, and comfort to overcome obstacles and build emotional fortitude.
These are just a few benefits that your child can receive with continuity in education. To learn more, simply contact our team and ask about our program.
