“We focus on the process of learning, not just memorizing information.”

–Erin Morris, Head of School

Epiphany students learn to think critically, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively through project-based learning and small group or individualized instruction.

An alternative to traditional rote memorization and teacher-focused instruction. PBL is a student-centered and inquiry-based learning approach that uses classroom projects and technology to engage students in collaborative real-world investigations. It’s “learning by doing.”

  • PBL engages students interest and motivation
  • Projects are designed to answer questions or solve everyday problems that one would encounter outside the classroom
  • Helps our students understand the “why?” behind things they are learning
  • Deepens understanding of concepts, improves communication and social skills, develops leadership skills, and fosters problem-solving and creativity

Individualized Instruction

  • Small group or 1:1 instruction for acceleration to engage and challenge based on individual learning strengths
  • Small group or 1:1 instruction for remediation based on individual learning needs
  • Individualized classroom accommodations and modified instruction
