The basics of the Education Pillar

We aim to give kids who’ve struggled in traditional classroom settings the opportunity to experience academic engagement and success. We do this by providing individualized instruction and adaptive learning opportunities to students of all abilities and backgrounds. We also emphasize ceremony; we celebrate as a community when students reach milestones.

What this means in practice

We match our instruction to the realities of students’ lives. We make individual learning plans for every student, meeting them where they are with whatever support they might need. We offer culturally relevant and highly individualized instruction. Non-verbal students, for example, receive one-on-one instruction with their assigned teaching assistant and a speech and language pathologist.

At Serendipity, students experience academic success and deep community connection, often for the first time.
