Year Round "Homeschool in School" Style of Education
“Emergent Curriculum”
Our Founder and Director Maria Emilia Fermi serves as the primary educator to our mixed age student body, supported by tutors who supplement and assess each students' learning.
Is a philosophy of teaching and developing a curriculum that adapts to your child’s needs, interests, and strengths as. opposed to a pre-set curriculum. Our daily schedule is customized and flexible.
This reinforces education as an adventure
rather than a chore, drawing out the natural talents and abilities of a child, and creating a lifelong learner in the process.

What does
language immersion
look like?
The Absorbent Mind
the timeframe to develop true
native fluency is in childhood. ​​​
​
-
Multilingual children are proven to have “greater openness to other languages and to new learning”​
​
-
Spanish is spoken throughout the day in a natural, inviting environment, transforming it from a class into second nature with the goal of fluency.
​
-
Russian and Chinese are taught weekly with students immersed in the languages.
​​
-
Exposure to languages including German, Italian, French, Hebrew, Indonesian, etc.
​
The LMS Method
Why the language and
music school?
-
The LMS Method, created by our founded and director Maria Emilia Fermi was a language learning curriculum first publishing in 1999 and translated into 12 languages, with the vision of teaching language through music to the world.
​
​
-
Our students learn songs in different languages and are exposed to piano, ukulele, violin, bass, cello, drums and guitar.
Young language-learners should feel part of a community of linguists which stretches through the generations- not participants in an esoteric activity that stops when you finish the curriculum.
