Eye Level is based on an educational principle where students learn at their own pace. When an instructor understands the learning needs of a student, the teaching is most effective. Eye Level’s program is sequential in nature, building constantly on previous subject matter and allowing every child to master one level of the curriculum before progressing to the next. InstrucOwner/Director Jim Lockard tors provide continuous guidance, allowing students to set attainable goals and learn at a comfortable, individualized pace. Instructors help students learn new concepts and guide them to work through problems themselves. Children attend Eye Level one hour each week per subject and work with an instructor in small groups. Students then receive about 15 minutes worth of homework per night. “We like to think of it like exercise for the brain: You need to do a little each day to gain the full beneﬁt,” Lockard says. At Eye Level, it is important that children have fun. “If they’re not having fun, they’re not learning,” Lockard asserts. The program offers a unique Critical Thinking Math component which allows students to develop depth perception, problem solving, and reasoning skills. Eye Level’s goal is to nurture lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and problem solvers who have the tools to succeed at every level of formal education and beyond.
