Did you know?
- In 2023, only 56% of 13-year-olds were proficient in math, a decline of 14 points in just a decade. (National Report Card)
- In some districts, classrooms hold 30 to 40 students, leaving teachers overwhelmed and kids overlooked. (NCES)
- Chronic absenteeism has skyrocketed, with nearly half of students missing school regularly—because they feel disengaged, unsupported, and unseen. (Pew Research)
As a parent, you don’t need statistics to tell you what’s going on—you’ve likely felt it firsthand.
Perhaps you’ve watched your child struggle with a “one-size-fits-all” approach to learning, or you’ve seen the challenges of overcrowded classrooms, schedules that lack flexibility, and a system that doesn’t always seem to adapt to today’s changing needs.
But what if there were a different way? What if you could find an education model that truly fits your family’s needs?
An Alternative That Works for Your Family
While many schools continue to serve students well, some families are finding that traditional structures don’t always align with their vision for education. Today’s families are looking for modern alternatives—educational options that emphasize creativity, flexibility, and personalized learning.
Imagine learning environments that look like this:
- Small classrooms with no more than 10 students, so teachers can offer more personalized attention.
- Schedules that work around your family’s needs, whether you need full-time, part-time, or hybrid learning options.
- Teachers who have the freedom to take time to know your child, not just as a student, but as a person—caring about their passions, challenges, and dreams.
- Educational spaces designed to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, rather than simply focusing on standard tests and compliance.
These are the schools of the future—innovative spaces that recognize each child’s unique potential and nurture their growth in meaningful ways. Schools that focus on your child’s spirit, potential, and creativity.
And the best part? These alternative educational options are available right here in Wichita.
