For many youth, the academic arena presents challenges and obstacles,
which seem nearly impossible to overcome. Typically, these youth do
not thrive in a regular classroom setting designed for a large number
of students. Due their need for individual attention
and an alternative approach from the teachers,
these students are often labeled as slow learners or can be seen as
disruptive to the rest of the class. Students may become alienated
from their teachers, schools and friends often resulting in under-achievement,
academic failure, school suspensions, frustrated parents, and students
who are seemingly outcast from the regular classroom setting and educational
system.
Approach
At Venture Academy, individualized
educational plans are developed with the students based on
student needs and records of schools previously attended
(as supplied by the parents).
The students' capabilities, learning potential
and educational objectives are taken into consideration when
identifying course and subject material, i.e. university entrance,
technical school acceptance and work force prerequisites.
Venture Academy offers our students material and individualized
learning environments designed according to their strengths, needs,
preferences, interests and abilities.
