Our students can take any combination of our classes; some of them full-time, 另一些人则在另一所学校参加大发体育的课程, 还有一些人只是来补习的.

课程分为多个层次:基础、标准、荣誉、 & AP(大学先修课程).

具有独特的个性化内容和类, 黄木书院 utilizes standards-based grading (SBG) as an approach to student learning and assessment in which the mastery of skills over time is what drives a grade, 而不是总积分. SBG aligns with our educational philosophy in that it provides adaptive and actionable feedback to students as they progress through each course. 与沙特, 学生被赋予自我评估的权利, and p艺术ner with their YWA instructor to co-create a meaningful educational experience.

卢克- 12年级
Luke来到YWA是为了寻找一所更容易控制他焦虑的学校. 因为家庭作业更多的是一种压力，而不是有意义的工作, 他的数学老师给他制定了一个不带作业回家学习微积分的计划. With the extra bandwith he's gotten back into 音乐 and this year joined a YWA rock-band as a drummer.
Brianne - 10年级
Brianne was a good student but she struggled to keep up with school while she was on her travelling soccer team. 一次离开一个星期后，想要赶上进度是不可能的. At YWA her teachers made a program just for her that is always right where she left it when she gets back to school.
科尔-九年级
科尔喜欢学习，他既聪明又好奇. He was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder two years ago and he learns best when his classes are tailored to his interests and accomodate his need for quiet spaces and time to process changes. 知道他喜欢蜥蜴, his YWA teachers wove that into his lessons: writing his first ever research paper about Chuckwallas, 做一个关于蜥蜴寿命的数学统计项目, 在设计思维课上为他的宠物蜥蜴3D打印栖息地.
乔丹-六年级
乔丹是一个充满活力的孩子，他参与了尽可能多的活动. Their YWA teachers provided a supportive environment while they grew in their identity. Their teachers also challenged them in reading and writing while slowing down and building their foundational skills in math.
杰克——四年级
Jack was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia in 2nd grade and struggled to keep up with his peers in a large classroom. His YWA teachers tried out manipulatives and accessible 技术 until they found tools that helped him gain confidence in his own learning. 在YWA的第一年结束时, 他利用图书馆借书和阅读章节书来取乐.

学习专业

At 黄木书院, we tailor our educational programs to each individual student. 对一些学生来说，他们的课程可能包括特殊教育服务. Because our certificated special education teachers teach across all disciplines, Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) can be seamlessly integrated into students’ daily schedules.

大发体育以学生为中心的项目为所有学生提供SDI, 他们是否需要特殊教育服务. This means that students are not singled out and pulled from class in order to receive SDI; rather, 学生的教学“分钟”已经融入了他们的一天. 黄木书院 is proud to foster an inclusive environment that celebrates the diversity of all learners.

“Any student who has struggled in a larger classroom environment would really benefit [from YWA]. 例如, we might get kids who have learning disabilities that have not been detected yet — or we might have kids who have been bullied — or they have anxiety and a typical classroom environment is just too much for them at the moment. … If any student just feels like they hate school and they can’t do and it’s not working for them — they should consider this as an option.”

(大发体育)不会只是说，‘哦，天哪，要是这样就好了.’ It’s really empowering to know our students well and be able to assess them thoroughly, 不仅要看他们的增长领域是什么, 还有他们的优势是什么. 站在我的立场, I will know if a kid who walks into the classroom is really happy or if the kid is bummed out. It’s nice to have the ability to figure that out and do something about it — that’s one of the most rewarding things about my job — helping students in that way.””
— Dr. 伊丽莎白·彼得森，学习专家
