Education Spotlight 2018

Halstrom Academy specializes in an innovative and student centric education model focused on 1:1 instruction. The school’s unique one student, one teacher approach is the core principal behind its academic success. Halstrom offers credit recovery, course remediation, and tutoring as well as a full-time solution for middle and high school students. Halstrom fosters a bully-free environment where customized learning and a content mastery philosophy allow for each student to progress at their own pace. When not in class, students have opportunities to socialize together through activities. Every day, Halstrom Academy provides a powerful alternative for parents whose children may not be living up to their full potential in a traditional school.

Halstrom students come from various backgrounds. Some struggle with academia, learning challenges or social anxiety while others are athletes and actors who find the flexible scheduling options beneficial. Regardless of where students come from, they all value the 1:1 instruction that is not found in the traditional classroom.

Not only is it academically challenging, but it has helped us raise kind, responsible and loving kids who love God and their community! Our daughter was very well prepared for high school as well.” — Patty M.
