It holds the beliefs that: All people can learn, people learn differently, and learning is effective when it is joyful, engaging and challenging. This synergistic approach to the learning process covers both theory and practice which yields to immediate classroom implementation. This type of learning has been proven to increase academic achievement and improve students' attitudes toward the learning process. This integrated, comprehensive program integrates research-based best practices in education into a cohesive whole, making content more meaningful and relevant throughout students' lives. Enjoyment and understanding is brought to teaching and learning with growing 'Aha' moments that are brought on by discovery. Through Quantum learning teachers can present their content a way that engages and energizes their students. Learning and life skills are integrated through a foundation that is built on the principles of the 8 Keys of Excellence. Those 8 keys integrate learning and life skills into all subjects and grade levels, resulting in students who become effective lifelong learners – responsible for their own education. Students’ can’t do it alone. They need to support of parents and community leaders.
