Much like our individualized approach to academics we feel it is important to address student concerns and curiosities individually. We seek to create a space where children feel they are safe to ask questions and their teachers will assist them in discovering answers when they have concerns. Frequently this includes bringing parents into the discussion. New Leaf Prep Academy will follow a curriculum cohesive with the State Standards. When controversial topics naturally arise that are outside of our curriculum, teachers will defer student concerns to address them individually rather than discussing the topic with, or in front of, other students. In anticipation of some potentially controversial topics, the following policies have been established.
