Core Subject Individualized Curricula

Every child is uniquely made by God, including the way he or she learns. Free Roots ALC believes in working with God’s beautiful designs, ensuring that curricula are designed for each student that fit individual learning styles, and ensuring every student is engaged in meaningful and captivating ways. 

The range of learning techniques that may be employed in all core subjects for students include online classes, written worksheets, hands-on methodologies, group studies, tutoring, and more. Students will work at their own pace to master the course content and disciplines.

We believe students learn responsibility by being in charge of their education so we offer many opportunities for students to direct their own learning based on their interests. When students are given the opportunity to choose to master a subject on their own, they are more likely to work hard and retain the information.

Free Roots ALC operates with parental involvement at its core. We believe parents understand their children best, and therefore have parents team up with the student and school guide to develop an individualized curriculum based on the learning style, interests and placement of the student.
