Exploring The Pros & Cons Of Online vs. In Person Private Elementary Schooling

At JLP Inspiring Minds private school we do not only strive to develop the students’ academic abilities, we focus on making sure that the child will be a well-rounded individual. This is achieved by having a curriculum set up to mold your child’s learning styles mentally and physically. This isn’t always easy to achieve through online private elementary school because children need more interaction.

We focus on all styles of learning because each child is different and their approach to learning will differ. The subjects that we offer and the curriculum as a whole are in alignment with the Florida State and National Standards. We also focus on international studies and the arts – both of these are important aspects of a child’s development.

The atmosphere at our private elementary school is one of a home school feel which sets it apart from the rest – including from the online schooling approach. Our classes are smaller in size making it possible for children to get more one-on-one attention. We believe that the Tech industry is important, so we strive to prepare our students for it by offering Technology and Media classes.

We also have a multi-grade class which has tremendous benefits. With this approach, the students receive foundational support in their current grade and begin learning concepts in their upcoming grade in the same classroom.

What Sets Our Curriculum Apart?

Kindergarten-1st Grade

  • Instills a strong foundation in math and English which helps to lay a strong foundation for when students move to 2nd and 3rd grade.
  • With our complete hands-on approach, we provide classes and activities that are suited to, and appropriate, for the development level of each child.
  • Kindergarten-1st grade class, students learn English, Language Arts, Science, Mathematics, and Social Studies together as part of a thematic unit. This means that instead of teaching each subject separately, lessons will be taught together around a central theme which helps the students to make connections between the subjects. With this kind of approach, we see that children gain a deeper understanding of the subjects, and it makes learning so much more fun!

1st -5th Grade

  • Aligned with the Florida State Standards.
  • Classes are provided with top-notch teaching in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Global Studies, Technological Literacy, Multimedia, and Music Appreciation.
  • Children will join the classes and activities that are suited to their specific needs. We recognize that each child is unique.
  • We group children based on their academic and individual abilities, keeping class sizes as small as possible.
  • Through engaging teaching methods, along with activities that encourage students to think critically and participate actively in their learning, they will be well-equipped to succeed as they progress to the upper elementary level of education.

Every Individual Matters

We focus on the individual needs learning levels and styles of each child, meaning that we can provide a well-balanced, developmentally appropriate curriculum that meets each child where they are at in any given subject.

The K-2nd grade students find their feet and become individual and independent thinkers thanks to our amazing teachers, who provide a nurturing environment for the students to learn at their own pace and get specific attention on their level , thus helping them develop academically.

Vast Array Of Important Skills

The K-2nd grade curricular programs include technology, library, character development, movement, modern language, art, and music appreciation. These and many more give children access to learning important skills that will carry them through life and a thriving career. Together with access to modern technology, every child will be prepared for life!

Safe & Secure Campus

We take extra care to ensure your children are safe and secure on campus, and that they feel loved and accepted for who they are.

Access To Modern Technology

With the rate of change in technological advancement, having access to the tools needed for the next generation to thrive is non-negotiable. This is why we provide children with everything they need to start learning coding and other important STEM skills from a younger age. We have Computer Science lessons available too, which leads children into a love for innovative technology.

State-Of-The-Art Developmentally Appropriate Playground

No matter the age of your children, if they are under the age of 12 they need space to play and exert as much energy, creativity, imagination, and fun as possible. The learning begins from the moment they are born, and without a playground for them to express themselves safely, they are missing out. This is also something that will happen in a physical school rather than online and makes your job as a parent so much easier – giving you peace of mind that your child will get everything they need to develop well.

Healthy Snack & Lunch Choices

Some children do not do well on sugars and unhealthy processed foods while some can handle them better, but all in all, we prefer to curb the sweet tooth and encourage healthy eating habits from a young age. In our dining hall children will have an array of healthy food options because let’s face it, we all learn and grow better when we eat well.

Sports Classes

Sports classes which include such as soccer, basketball, football, cheer leading, and dance are all fun and competitive activities that help to develop a child’s self-esteem and physical strength. Working in a team, learning to share, and how to encourage others are all incredible elements of good character – none of which is possible without interaction from in-person schooling.
