The Foundation of Level Up Academy

    Our Four Pillars

    We've built our entire educational model around four core concepts that ensure every child is known, supported, and prepared for the future.

    Pillar 01

    #wePersonalize

    Kids are human beings, not widgets on an assembly line. We don't expect students to sit in rows doing the exact same thing. Instead, we use adaptive assessments to identify what each child needs next and tailor their learning path.

    Above Grade Level?

    Work ahead and even earn high school credit before 8th grade.

    Need Support?

    Targeted interventions and a robust Special Education program.

    The 60-Minute Reading & Math Block

    20min

    Small Group

    Direct, targeted instruction with a teacher based on exact needs.

    20min

    Technology

    Adaptive mastery pathways that sync with assessments.

    20min

    Hands-On

    Games and activities using flexible seating and adult support.

    Result: Students outpace the national average for annual growth!
    Pillar 02

    #weEngage

    We prepare students to be creative problem-solvers for careers that haven't even been invented yet through project-based and game-based learning.

    STEAM Lab

    Creative problem solving through project-based learning. Students design, build, and test.

    • 3-D Printing & Design
    • Robotics Programming
    • Invention Prototypes

    Arts Studio

    Fostering creative self-expression in music and visual arts with hands-on tools.

    • Piano, Guitars, Drums
    • Clay & Paper Mache
    • Watercolors & Mixed-Media

    Pillar 03

    #weCode

    Technology is the language of the future. We emphasize computer science natively in our core curriculum through four distinct components, preparing students to be creators, not just consumers.

    Curriculum Tools

    Common Sense Media, Scratch, code.org, Minecraft Education, and more.

    Digital Citizenship

    Evaluating information validity, avoiding unsafe situations, and curating a positive digital footprint.

    Digital Literacy

    Using adult tools like spreadsheets and slides, plus exploring app creation and animation.

    Computer Programming

    Progressing from block coding in younger grades to specific languages in upper grades.

    Computational Thinking

    Learning to think like a computer scientist using algorithms and debugging to solve complex problems.

    Pillar 04

    #weConnect

    Learning requires risking being "wrong." Students must feel safe and supported. We intentionally teach social, emotional, and behavioral skills just like academics.

    Our #weCODE Values

    C

    Cooperation

    Work together toward a common goal.

    O

    Ownership

    Do what is right. Take control of your words, actions, and work.

    D

    Do Your Best

    Give your greatest effort.

    E

    Everyone Matters

    Treat others the way you want to be treated.

    PBIS Rewards System

    We recognize what students do RIGHT 5x more often than we correct behavior.
