A typical day at apogee st pete
Overview
We have created a project-based learning environment that emphasizes reading, writing, physical fitness, critical thinking and communication (bit of a lost art if you’re around many kids today).
Kids learn amongst a community of peers all practicing a Socratic style of education who learn different things, at different times, in a style and format that is natural and leans into a child’s strengths.
Learning and instilling a growth-based mindset shouldn’t have to be an uphill battle, and at Apogee St. Pete, it’s not.
Structure: 6-hour days, 4 day weeks
