Innovative Programs
- Individual Learning Plans. To help a student achieve his or her full academic potential, Levine Academy introduces Individual Learning Plans for sixth and seventh graders. Each student will have his or her own academic profile, which notes strengths, special interests and learning styles, as well as areas that might require special attention. Based on this document, a plan of action will be developed and reviewed with parents and students to maximize the student's potential. Levine Academy plans to develop Individual Learning Plans for students in other grades in the near future.
- Challenge and Discovery. This school-wide project is designed to enhance academic offerings and challenges and to expand students' learning experiences. Students with special interests, as well as children with special needs ranging from gifted and talented to those with learning differences will be directed to staff members or programs that can meet these needs. Teachers and specialists will be staffing programs such as Math Lab, Writers' Workshop, Editor's Desk (for the new student-run school newspaper, and Visions), Tutorials, Kikar Tsion Hebrew-speaking club, and much more. Each program will be opened to limited grades and expanded until it is available to all students.
- Middot (Ethical Covenant). This preschool through eighth grade initiative involves parents, teachers, and students as partners in making the Ethical Covenant a living document at the Levine Academy. The Covenant defines the core values central to our school's philosophy — responsibility, respect, justice, citizenship, caring, holiness and integrity — and are traits we expect our students, as well as their parents and teachers, to carry with them all their lives.
