Our story
Why our founders built Meadow View
Our volunteer founders created Meadow View Learning for the purpose of providing a wholesome and “old school” learning environment for children in our community.
We integrated the best elements we believe make a student’s learning experience effective and memorable:
- consistent rules
- appropriate challenge
- personalized learning
- adults who believe in the students
- plenty of fresh air
- outside time
- physical exercise
- field trips
- real-world discussions from a Christian world-view
- integrated virtues learning/practice
- consistent daily rhythm
- annual events
- student responsibility
- life skills practice
- choice within structure
- small-group lessons
- hands-on materials
- presentation and performance opportunities
- mixed-age environment
- parent showcases
- engaging projects
- rich academic and enrichment experiences
- real books
- good old-fashioned pencil and paper
