Morgantown Learning Academy creates a unique learning environment in which students are encouraged to be initiators, to question, explore, create, share, and experience the excitement of learning. Our teachers are committed to enhancing the growth and development of children through structuring a classroom that allows the students to explore and learn. We welcome and encourage the involvement of our children, parents, and faculty, and the ideas and energy they bring to the challenge of realizing the special vision of education we share for our children.

The purpose of this statement is to explain our beliefs about teaching and learning, our goals for our children, and how these goals and beliefs guide the everyday activities in our classrooms.

We Provide Appropriate Choices PDF Print E-mail
We believe in a demographic educational environment. Teachers provide opportunities for children to develop skills and knowledge during the study of topics that are exciting and meaningful to children. The teachers provide topic or activity choices (often developed with student input) that are carefully designed to give practice in the particular learning task at hand. The availability of appropriate choices allows students to work in a context of interest to them. Having choices and participating in one's education also contributes to the development of decision-making skills, positive self-concept and motivation.
