Albert Einstein Academy Charter Elementary

The academic rigor, coupled with the wide variety of ways students can engage intellectually, physically, and culturally is wonderful. Our son explores topics through inquiry, following his own questions within an organized framework of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. Seeing how it has spiraled and built over the years, seeing our son’s knowledge deepen and interests develop seems effortless, though it is clear that the staff intentionally weaves opportunities for students to collaborate, engage, and take action related to their IB concepts. My son LOVED the PE program and afterschool opportunities. He enjoys learning German, though it is a challenge our entire family does have to work really hard at. And, with half of his instruction in German, it means he has only half of his instruction in English. So, sometimes “comparing” his experience with a student not also learning another language can be hard. I have read and believe that the benefits of learning a 2nd (Or 3rd...or more) language can show themselves later. But also learning German, I feel my own brain rewiring and being challenged, growing. For my son, it is happening at a much deeper level. We are thankful and appreciative to be part of the Albert Einstein Academy Community.
