Achiever Institute, the original Achiever after school, is an incredibly special place!…read moreI have worked here for over half a decade, I have seen little kindergarteners turn into graduating 6th graders, and I truly stand by this place whole heartedly.
This after school not only focuses on homework and other forms of academics, but they also help children on their character building.
The curriculum is well balanced, which I truly enjoy. Achiever Institute offers classes like math, writing, drawing, crafts, recess, Spanish, Chinese, drama, and many more. This is important because not only are these children being taught important academic lessons, but they are also able to express their imaginations and creativity in interesting ways within the classes provided by Achiever.
What's quite extraordinary is that not only do they put forth energy to ensure homework is finished and class work is being done, but they also genuinely put the time and effort into teaching their students life long lessons. For example, here at Achiever Institute the staff are also concerned with teaching the students politeness, respecting themselves, their fellow classmates, the staff, other people's feelings, their shared spaces, and so much more!
What I also really like is that the staff always communicates with the parents. This is key in my opinion because it is so important to not only be completely aware of everything your child is going through, but also so that you, as a parent, are always kept up to date.
Lastly, the summer programs offered by Achiever are like no other! Comparable to the school year's curriculum, they too have a great balance of teaching students necessities and having fun. The first few weeks are intriguing courses such as coding classes, science week, cooking week (which is my personal favorite), etc. but the last month or so of Achiever Institute's summer program is what COMPLETELY SETS THEM APART FROM ANY OTHER AFTER SCHOOL!!! Why you may ask; it is because they host a children's musical. It's several weeks, 4-5 or so) and they start from absolute scratch. It's truly extraordinary to witness!
Overall Achiever Institute is not only an academic facility, but it truly feels like a big family. The staff is fully capable, innovative, and quite frankly, amazing. The learning environment is fully equipped for the children's best outcomes and is also well taught; and most importantly, everyone that helps make things possible at this after school genuinely cares!
