I really enjoy being able to work one on one with a teacher if needed. I also like that I'm able to take breaks when I need to and I can color or fidget to help me focus.
- 8th GraderWhat our students
say
What do you like about the teachers at EYC?
The teachers at EYC are understanding, and genuinely care for their students; the small learning environment allows for a closer connection.
- SophomoreWhat kind of things do you get to do in your classes? Are there any activities that you really enjoy, and why?
I took an art class at EYC and I loved every part of it. It was very hands on and the teachers were really engaging. I also took Science classes at EYC and one thing we did that I enjoyed was something called Algae Academy. We got to study algae and how to help the environment, which I thought, was really fun.
- SeniorWhat do you like about your learning environment, whether that is at EYC or at home?
I like the calm and warm atmosphere [at EYC]. I also like being able to work by myself in my room at the school, but also have the option to go work with the teachers when I need help.
- SeniorHow does EYC make you feel cared for and safe?
There's never a dull moment or a poorly taught lesson with the teachers. they're always so energetic, kind and caring. Whether that be math or science or English or art, they always know strategies that have always helped me learn challenging material.
- SeniorWhat made you choose EYC? Or, if your parents chose EYC for you, what makes it seem like a good fit?
My family chose to send me to EYC Academy because nowhere else was tolerant enough to accept me the way I am with my difficulties. And it has proven to be a good choice as I am now a stronger writer than ever before and I'm learning tough topics that fascinate me through techniques I would have never learned otherwise.
