We’re thrilled to share that Colossal Academy was featured in a recent Forbes article, “4 Reasons Why Today’s New Private Schools Are Different,” by Kerry McDonald. This recognition highlights the innovative ways microschools like ours are reshaping the landscape of private education. The piece underscores a growing movement of schools that prioritize personalized, real-world learning experiences—values that are central to Colossal Academy’s mission.
Why Are New Private Schools Different?
According to the article, today’s private schools are disrupting traditional education models in four key ways:
Smaller, Personalized Learning Environments:Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of conventional schools, new private schools embrace smaller class sizes and individualized instruction. At Colossal Academy, we tailor learning experiences to meet each student’s unique needs, interests, and goals. This allows us to foster meaningful connections and cultivate an environment where students truly thrive.
Focus on Real-World Skills:McDonald emphasizes the shift toward teaching practical skills that prepare students for the future. Colossal Academy exemplifies this by integrating entrepreneurial projects, STEM initiatives, and community-based learning into our curriculum. Our students graduate not only with knowledge but also with the tools to navigate adulthood with confidence and purpose.
Innovative Educational Models:Today’s private schools are embracing flexibility and creativity in their structures. Colossal Academy’s hybrid microschool model combines the best of personalized, experiential learning with modern technologies like AI, ensuring students are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.
Greater Accessibility:Many new private schools are finding ways to reach a wider range of families. Colossal Academy’s commitment to inclusivity, coupled with our acceptance of scholarships like Step Up for Students, ensures that more learners can benefit from a transformative education.
What This Means for Colossal Academy
Being mentioned in Forbes validates the hard work of our team, students, and families in creating a learning environment that truly stands apart. It’s a testament to the Colossal Academy model—one that focuses on relevancy, hands-on experiences, and preparing students to make meaningful contributions to their communities.
As McDonald points out, these schools are at the forefront of a movement that is reshaping private education, and Colossal Academy is proud to be part of this exciting evolution. We’re more committed than ever to providing an education that empowers students to reach their full potential.
