The Best of Both Worlds: Academic Rigor in a Progressive Setting
Aurora is a leader in Progressive Education. We believe one can not separate Progressive Education from Academic Rigor. At Aurora, children are challenged to work to the best of their ability and to stretch their thinking. We believe hard work is part of learning and so is play! We know that academic rigor works best in a context that values diverse student needs and provides the opportunity to construct knowledge of the world, in a setting that fosters risk-taking, individual challenge and cooperative exploration. We are dedicated to helping children develop critical thinking skills, social compassion, and emotional security. At Aurora, we strive to educate the hearts and minds of our learners. Our standards are carefully guided by The Common Core State Standards and the California State Standards. Families at Aurora actively share in the joy of growing along with their children, confident they will thrive in the world.
