At Élan Academy, the guiding principle is to ensure students become the best versions of themselves, whether they're at Élan for one year or until graduation. Élan exists to offer a high-quality education to all, irrespective of their background. Decisions are driven by academic, behavior, and culture data, and curriculum decisions are backed by research. We maximize individualization and propel early technology literacy through rich and frequent blended learning. We stand firm on three concepts - grammar, logic, rhetoric - and three components - structured learning, Great Books, and spoken language. Our 21st-century approach to learning, joined with a classical curriculum, provides an innovative and powerful option for preparing students with the foundation necessary for lives of opportunity.
