What does a typical day at a T-RAD-itional school look like for a student? How is it any different?

We aim for our schools to be a unique experience for each of our students. Our teachers are specialized in their field , requiring a Master’s degree or higher . We also have a 1 : 5 teacher-student ratio , providing our students with one-on-one time with a teacher if needed. There will also be classes where more than one teacher is in the room at once , to introduce a different method or spin on the material being taught , or help relate the current topic to a different subject altogether .

As for methods of teaching , we cycle through and use what best suits our students at the time for the given lesson . If you were to pop your head into a class , you could see a number of any of the following :

Individual study , work time , readings

Group work , projects , readings , debates

Presentations by teachers or students

Activities that require movement

Hands-on activities like building models

Or even taking the classroom outside to learn about the community or environment !

Each day is different and new , but can be chalked up to our basic class schedule :

	Time
1	9:00-10:00
2	10:05-11:05
3	11:10-12:10
Lunch	12:10-12:50
4	12:55-1:55
5	2:00-3:00

And not every day will follow this schedule . Big projects , field trips , and certain activities can change the schedule , but it is all manageable , and time lost in a class will be made up   eventually , so students get the most out of each of their   classes .
