We will also teach our students The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, so that they can lead a well- balanced life. We believe in the whole child. Helping each student to find his or her passion beyond academics is important, as we believe it is that passion that will keep them motivated to learning new things. Providing time for rich discussion on topics, and time for students to truly understand their own learning. Students will be taught to track their progress through a student portfolio. Hands on learning is embraced at the Sanibel School.
