Old school doesn't make sense

Two trains are traveling at different speeds...

Old school doesn't make sense anymore.

We remember it. It’s the start of a word problem from 100 years ago. At Flint Hill, we arrive at that train station differently. For example, last spring, science students built water rockets and measured distance and velocity by analyzing the launch via an iPad's frame-by-frame view.

This shouldn t be a tool for teachers.

Old school doesn't make sense anymore.

For years, educational systems have increased the teacher-tofaculty numbers. But students aren’t all one type. Should they grouped, tagged, and standardized together? At Flint Hill, small class sizes means individualized and customized learning.

No megaphone required.

Standardized around bubbles? Really?

Old school doesn't make sense anymore.

At Flint Hill, filling in bubbles isn’t the norm. Our students score among the best on SATs and ACTs, but how they get there and what they know, that’s what makes our approach to education different. It’s about each student individually, and not teaching to the test to make sure there’s an acceptable group outcome.

The former tools of the trade.

Old school doesn't make sense anymore.

At Flint Hill, every classroom has a Smart Board so class notes can be recorded and shared with students. Because we’re a 1:1 MacBook/iPad campus, that makes it even easier.

At Flint Hill, we use less paper because we’re a 1:1 MacBook/ iPad campus. But that’s just the start. Students work with all sorts of tools and software to engage and develop their knowledge of subjects. That’s something paper can’t compete with.

We re ipping things around.

Because at Flint Hill, teaching ignites a passion for learning.

At Flint Hill, we recognize that students learn differently. Creative classrooms mean individual interaction, group projects and experiential teaching that engages in the content of every lesson. One example of this is the flipped classroom model in one chemistry section, where students receive instruction on experiments before they come into lab.

That makes more time to focus as a group.
