Agora Prep Academy

We are a non-traditional, alternative school that aims to revolutionize the educational paradigm. We don't believe in sitting at desks and we don't think children need to learn with a teacher directing information at them.

To truly engage children in this generation and future generations, we must shift the educational paradigm and start evolving from the traditional “schooling” of the past. At AGORA Prep, we utilize technology to acquire knowledge and inspire innovation through experiential learning which is critical in the holistic development of the child. Children are born with innate capacities, strengths, and talents, that if celebrated and empowered, will fuel the future with the inventions to progress. Students arrive to our environment already curious and intelligent in various ways, we need to coach them on effective implementation of their ideas to advance and accelerate their natural desire to learn.

Agora Prep Academy is a unique, leading-edge preparatory environment that inspires the student to engage in their learning. AGORA Prep adheres to the Ministry Curriculum Guidelines and implements a unique strategy to allow children to interact and engage with the content being taught. Through harnessing the innate and natural curiousity of children, Agora Prep Academy optimizes education using the "Distributed Collective" mode of learning. Harvard professor Richard Elmore developed this theory and it is taught in Harvard University as part of the "Leadership in Learning" course for educators and changemakers.

Distributed collective is the main underlying principle behind our pedagogy. According to this philosophy, learning is based on the identification of children's interests and the idea that everyone is capable of learning outside of hierarchical frameworks. Common priorities, respect and cooperation among members of the community are key to the success of this mode of learning.

What makes us different. Non-Traditional Learning Environment, Flexible Seating, Outdoor Education, Interest Based, and 21st Century Skills. We specialize in children with all abilities including autism, gifted, MID, ODD, OCD, ADD, ADhD and all other learning disabilities as well bullied and displaced students.
