School Structure

The EdisonLearning partner school structure creates an environment that is more like a small school than a large one.  EdisonLearning uses time and resources to create greater intimacy and better communication between teachers, students, and parents.  

Individualized, Customized Learning

 
"We don't teach classes, we teach individuals."

- Principal, EdisonLearning Partner School

The EdisonLearning school structure allows for more individualized attention for your child and greater customization of their learning experience.

We do this by creating “schools within the school” – grade-level groupings called “Academies” and small teaching teams called “Houses.”

Academies

Each Academy, or cluster of grades, runs for either two or three years:

• Primary Academy for grades K-2
• Elementary Academy for grades 3-5
• Junior Academy for grades 6-8
• Senior Academy for grades 9-10
• Collegiate Academy for grades 11-12

Houses

Each Academy is further divided into teams of teachers linked to a particular group of students called Houses, a structure which enhances intimacy between teachers, students and families.

• Each House has a group of teachers (typically four to six) who are responsible for between 100 and 180 students.
• Ideally, the same teachers stay with the same group of students throughout each multi-year Academy.
