C. The ‘Little Mountain’ Big Difference.

At Little Mountain Learning Academy, we emphasize interaction and engagement with fellow students and instructors during class time rather than limited educational approaches that involve systematic worksheets and textbook memorization.

Our learning environment encourages students to contribute, discuss and exchange ideas both with their classmates and their instructors. As a result of ongoing encouragement and active participation in our small group settings even the most timid students find their ‘voice’. Our proven methods of discovery build self-esteem and enable students to become more active and confident participants in their larger school classroom.
