Expert Teachers, Subject by Subject
At The Now Academy, we believe students thrive when they learn from educators who specialize in what they teach.
Unlike traditional elementary schools where one teacher covers every subject, our students learn from specialist educators who are passionate and experienced in their fields.
This approach ensures deeper learning, stronger engagement, and greater confidence in every subject.
English & Literacy
Led by a literacy-focused educator dedicated to helping students develop strong reading, writing, and communication skills. Students build confidence through storytelling, reading workshops, and expressive writing.
Math
Guided by a math specialist who helps students understand numbers through hands-on exploration and real-world problem solving. Students learn to think logically and develop strong foundational math skills.
STEM
Coding, robotics, engineering challenges, and science experiments led by passionate STEM educators. Students explore technology and innovation through interactive learning.
Business & Entrepreneurship
Students learn foundational business thinking through hands-on activities like classroom stores, simple pricing exercises, and collaborative projects. Through these experiences, students develop confidence, creativity, financial awareness, and leadership skills.
History & Culture
History comes alive through storytelling, cultural exploration, and discussions about the world around us. Students develop curiosity, global awareness, and critical thinking.
Arts & Creativity
Taught by artists and creative educators who inspire imagination and expression. Students explore music, visual arts, design, and creative storytelling.
This approach ensures every child learns from someone who loves what they teach and is deeply skilled in that subject.
Specialist teachers lead hands-on instruction during our on-campus learning days, while virtual learning days reinforce skills through guided projects and independent practice.
Assessment Approach
At The Now Academy, we do more than give tests, we measure growth.
Our assessment model focuses on academic mastery, leadership development, and character formation, ensuring every student grows intellectually and personally.
Formative Assessments: Ongoing checkpoints during lessons to guide learning
Project-Based Assessments: Students demonstrate understanding through real-world projects
Student Portfolios: Each child builds a portfolio of business ideas, STEM experiments, and creative work
Parent Progress Reviews: Regular meetings to discuss academic growth, leadership skills, and character development
Growth = Academic Mastery + Leadership Development + Character Formation
