Our Approach
Our Approach
We work hard to cultivate wonder and virtue in our members. We are purposeful about nurturing to life the good character qualities that we want to see grow and blossom. We consider character traits to be habits; habits of thought and habits of deed. We assist parents in guiding their children into habits of gentleness, courtesy, candor, respect for others, and truthfulness.
Research shows that learning through projects is not simply more fun & engaging for kids. Project-based learning also leads to deeper understanding of concepts and skills, because children need to apply their learning to a real-world situation. Creating projects also helps children build key skills for future success, such as goal setting, project management, and giving & getting feedback
We support our members in mastery learning so they achieve a mastery level (at least 84%) before progressing to the next concept, level, or stage of a subject or project. Our strategies are designed to help our members develop grit, perseverance, and excellence that naturally raises achievement and increases the child’s performance.
The world needs a new generation of creative and critical thinkers. Creativity is a key skill for future success and personal fulfillment. At Livewell we work hard to cultivate wonder and virtue in our members.
Critical thinking and problem solving are important survival skills. The Socratic Method is one of many forms of inductive teaching or discovery learning that allow children to make a discovery through their own efforts, not through the passive reception of information. Our leaner-led environment is ripe for this type of discovery!
Educators are rethinking their roles to focus more on mentoring and guiding than teaching. At Livewell, we’ve reimagined that “classroom”. When you choose to homeschool, life becomes the new classroom. There are lessons and learning that happen everywhere, and at all times. Our Guides bring those lessons into focus. Previously teachers were seen as content experts who transmitted knowledge to students. Modern advances in technology have made it possible for our Guides to focus more on empowering students to achieve their goals. As a result, our Livewell Lions and Cubs have increased confidence, increasing self-awareness, impressive emotional and behavior regulation, and improved performance. Our Guides work with our members to help them to solve problems, resolve conflict, answer their own questions, and dig deeper in research, by helping them develop very purposeful critical thinking and problem solving skills. Our Guides work side by side our members to help them grow and deepen their understanding and mastery. 1:1 Tutoring Support is provided when additional academic support is needed.
