Back to Basics Private School is a Nationwide Department of Education-approved Private School for grades K-12 designed with your child in mind. Our mission is to help your child through the transitions of life with our unique private elementary, middle, and high school programs.
The experienced and degreed instructors at Back to Basics work as a team to customize and tailor an integrated curriculum to the needs and abilities of your child. The teaching staff is dedicated to the growth and development of your child academically, socially, mentally and emotionally. Our goals are improved academic skills, increased self-esteem, and guidance for each student’s current and future success.
One-on-one learning distinguishes the Back to Basics Private School and may be the academic solution for your child. In a one-on-one setting, students have the constant attention of the teacher so that they can listen and speak with much more comfort than in a group situation. Each child’s strengths and non-strengths are addressed more consistently and fully without the distraction of other students or the teacher’s compensation for different levels in one classroom. Each student can go at his/her own pace and have the benefit of the teachers adapting to each individual learning style.
