ELEVATE YOUR MIND ACADEMY
A VIRTUAL LEARNING NETWORK
Your ALTERNATIVE to a Traditional EDUCATION
​ACADEMICS
EYMA faculty are able to offer personalization of our curriculum to meet the individual needs of each scholar by enhancing assignments and creating projects to better suit a student’s unique learning style.
EYMA offers a hybrid model that includes online and face to face text-based curriculum options. With this model, EYMA combines the dynamic interactivity of the web with on and off line assignments along with bi-weekly face to face meetings with your assigned faculty member. Our courses are structured primarily through project based learning and feature materials carefully chosen for their academic quality and suitability for a wide range of learning styles.
Keeping in Touch and Providing Support
EYMA faculty keep in frequent contact with students, responding to questions through our interactive grade book, phone, email, video conferencing, and in face to face settings. Our faculty sets the learning tone through a welcome letter and video when a scholar enrolls in a course. This personal introduction allows the faculty member to personally connect with the scholar, setting up guidelines for communication, and offering support for academic and personal success.
Curriculum is taught with the understanding that the purpose is not merely the attainment of knowledge but also includes the acquisition of values, the ability to think and the discovery of truth.
Our goals in this area are:
-
To provide an academically challenging curriculum which meets the needs of the college and or career bound scholar which also promotes an enjoyment of learning.
-
To motivate each scholar to develop his/her academic potential and creative talent.
-
To provide scholars with critical and independent thinking, analytical, and synthetic skills.
