In spite of the classroom's informal mood there are closely monitored boundaries, strict behavioral expectations and an unmistakable attitude of success. Our Staff to Student ratio is 1 to 3, ensuring that our classroom is a safe environment for all students and that the focus remains on learning. Supervising the school is a full-time teacher from an accredited university program. We have carefully selected several curriculi, to guarantee the highest of quality, flexibility and transferablity of credits back to programs in the United States. Several examples of this would be Brigham Young University's independent study program, Laurel Springs High School in Ojai, California and the Calvert School located in Maryland.
Students can catch up with their work and learn at a pace that meets their individual needs.
One thing unique to A Better Way's school is that in addition to learning the core subjects, our students are taught music, art and Polynesian culture in the classroom. Five hours a week are spent learning traditional songs, dances, crafts and culture. Utilizing tutors from local villages and schools our students become well versed in a culture they will come to cherish. .
