Our approach to learning
At La Sombra we recognize that learning begins with attention and intention. Making learning fun immediately activates learners to engage and find focus.
In nature, play has a major roll in learning!
We want to allow kids to be kids, while also challenging them to learn new skillsets, make new connections, and understand what it means to be a good citizen of this planet.
Although we offer lots of game play in our curriculum, we also believe in the values of hard work, resilience, and personal accountability. We believe that true learning can only be done in the service of self and hope to help our students build a healthy relationship with academia. We want to inspire a love of reading and learning.
We serve our learners and the communities they are a part of and want to provide our students with the tools they need to succeed. We know that every child learns differently and adapt to meet the needs of each student individually to the best of our ability.
