\"Locker<\/a>If your children are already dreading the return to school, maybe it\u2019s time to investigate a revolutionary alternative \u2026 Back to Basics K-12 1-on-1 Private School<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back to Basics is Nationwide\u2019s only Department of Education-approved 1-on-1 Private School. Our goals include a development of each student\u2019s skills, increased self-esteem, and guidance for current and future success. Seniors graduate Back to Basics with a high school diploma, well prepared to take the next step in life, either by entering college or the workforce.<\/p>\n

In addition, Back to Basics Private School was recently certified by the Federal Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to accept international students for high school. This provides our American students with the ability to interact on a daily basis with students from many countries, with different backgrounds, cultures and experiences, enriching the school experience for all.<\/p>\n

The benefits of a low student to teacher ratio are well-documented.<\/em> Among educators, the most influential study of the benefits of a decreased student to teacher ratio is the Student Teacher Achievement Ratio (STAR). The study measured consequences for students who were randomly assigned to a small class (average of 15 students) versus a regular class (average of 22 students).<\/p>\n

The results were unimpeachable. The reduction in class size by 32% increased student achievement by an amount equivalent to 3 additional months of schooling<\/em> \u2013 an impressive gain which was still measurable in a follow-up study four years later.<\/p>\n

For some students in Nationwide, there is an even better solution \u2013 a 1-on-1 classroom! Your child can have that 1-on-1 teacher interaction every single day at Nationwide\u2019s only Department of Education-approved 1-on-1 private school.<\/p>\n

The experienced and degreed instructors at Back to Basics K-12 Private School work as a team to customize and tailor an integrated curriculum to meet the unique needs and abilities of your child. The teaching staff is dedicated to the growth and development of your child academically, socially, mentally and emotionally. And, the result is improved academic skills, increased self-esteem, and unparalleled subject mastery.<\/p>\n

Back to Basics K-12 Private School offers the four core curriculum areas of English\/language arts, math, social studies and science, as well as electives for all grades which include foreign languages (16 offered), business courses, sociology, study skills, art, music, drama, computer literacy, and over 50 other subjects.<\/p>\n

Back to Basics K-12 Private School is designed with your <\/em>child in mind:<\/p>\n

My child continually struggles in school. Can a 1-on-1 school help him focus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a 1-on-1 setting, students have the constant attention of the teacher, so that they can listen and speak with much more comfort than in a group situation. Each child\u2019s strengths and non-strengths are addressed more fully — without the distraction of other students or the teacher\u2019s compensation for a variety of skill levels in one classroom. Plus, each student can go at his or her own pace and benefit from each teacher adapting to his or her individual learning style. <\/em><\/p>\n

My child is pursuing a future career while still in school. How can a 1-on-1 school help simplify our hectic life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your student is actively pursuing a career in acting, modeling, dance, or sports, congratulations! These hard working students have a host of additional difficulties when enrolled at a traditional school, the least of which is simply scheduling. A 1-on-1 setting can allow your child to more easily fulfill school requirements while juggling auditions, work, games, practice or travel. School hours can be adjusted to outside obligations, so that no assignments or class time are missed. And, because Back to Basics K-12 Private School is a Nationwide Department of Education-approved school, seniors graduate with a high school diploma.<\/em><\/p>\n

My child is coping with a medical issue. How would a 1-on-1 school benefit her?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether your student has a chronic condition, emotional challenges, or has a short-term medical issue, a 1-on-1 school may be the answer. Back to Basics K-12 Private School offers a uniquely caring and supportive academic environment with scheduling flexibility to ensure your child\u2019s success. <\/em><\/p>\n

My child is socially immature. Would a 1-on-1 school be a good fit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every student deserves an environment conducive to his\/her individual learning style. The Back to Basics team of experienced instructors joins forces to create the unique environment where your child can learn — and feel good about school. The results are transformative! After one to three years, many Back to Basics K-12 Private School students confidently return to a traditional school setting.<\/em><\/p>\n

My child has been identified as gifted and is simply not challenged at his current school. Would a 1-on-1 environment help?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your child may benefit from an innovative 1-on-1 approach to learning. Since students can move at their own pace and teachers are not focused on a range of skill levels found in a traditional classroom, the sky\u2019s the limit! In addition to core curriculum, your child may want to explore a broader range of electives or Honors courses not offered at the school they are currently attending \u2013 from Mandarin Chinese, to Anatomy, to Art History.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you are interested in applying for admission, a preliminary meeting at the Back to Basics K-12 Private School is the first step. During this meeting you\u2019ll explore your expectations, share information about your child\u2019s current school situation and history, and discuss any specific needs.<\/p>\n

This is also the time to evaluate exactly why your child\u2019s current school setting is not a good fit, and what specific educational goals are most appropriate for your child. You\u2019ll also learn more about Back to Basics K-12 Private School and its unique 1-on-1 approach to learning and building self-esteem.<\/p>\n
