The best education for your child!
Atlas Academy encourages children to strive for the ‘love of learning’ and being their best by giving 110%. Our philosophy has always been based on a customized education for each child. We understand that all children learn differently and the best way to teach them is by individualized instruction. The small teacher/child ratio and periodic assessments ensure your child’s ongoing success.
We’re About The Individual Learner
SMALL STUDENT-TEACHER RATIO
Our classes have an impressively low student-teacher ratio of 6:1. In a smaller class it’s more difficult for students to get left behind. Fewer students means that each one gets attention from the teacher. Not only do students learn more in smaller classes, they also learn faster.
PRACTICAL LEARNING
Critical thinking involves problem-solving that stems from natural logic and our ability to observe situations and activities in order to learn from them. We can actively promote this ability by teaching students “how” to think, rather than “what” to think. Thus, creating independent thinkers.
KINDERGARTEN SPANISH
Our Third Year/Kindergarten classes offer a daily Spanish program. Your child will encounter a new language and have fun learning through activities, songs, and games. Our goal is to make the learning process both fun and effective for your child.
MUSIC & MOVEMENT
Music and Movement will be taught to students each week for 4 and 5-year-olds, and every other week for 3-year-olds. Children will play with drums, shakers, bells, rhythm sticks, and much more. We will be learning fun songs each week to help develop musical, physical, emotional, social and cognitive skills.

4-Year-Old Preschool
The 4-year-old class builds upon the previous year’s knowledge adding the lower case letters of the alphabet, extensive number skills, sorting, addition, subtraction, writing, pre-reading, and reading activities. We concentrate on reading skills and group the children accordingly to their individual abilities. We increase attention span and independent work. We develop a better understanding with science concepts through teacher directed experiments. In addition to the basic core curriculum, we will teach an introduction to a variety of fields in weekly ‘themed units’ such as astronomy, anatomy, money and art to name just a few. This creative and fun curriculum concentrates on kindergarten readiness.

Five Day a Week 4-Year-Old Preschool
This unique five day preschool program is designed around the core themes of our three day 4 year old program. In addition to the core curriculum, we will be focusing on deeper learning and developing a continuous growth at a faster pace. This class enables children to really settle into the routine, the social structure, and the daily lessons so that they are learning and retaining as much as possible. It’s all about the consistency. Children who attend 5 day programs typically learn much faster than their 3 day counterparts. We concentrate on reading skills and group the children accordingly to their individual abilities.

Students typically enter third year/Kindergarten reading basic books and by the end of the school year, many students are easily reading at a first or second grade level. Students are taught both decoding and comprehension strategies in preparation for success as lifelong readers. High frequency use-words and spelling patterns are identified during word studies. In addition, new courses in our Spanish language program will be taught daily. Math will be a composite of addition, subtraction, measurement, estimation, place value, rounding, money, and more.
