EMBRACING A NEW ERA OF EDUCATION
We offer a micro-schooling experience for families seeking a consistent classroom environment, certified educators, and a peer community to support homeschooling and worldschooling lifestyles.
CASCO’s approach is rooted in Montessori and self-directed learning practices and incorporates a multi-age classroom, learning materials, and a globally-minded curriculum to guide learners through the Elementary & Adolescent years.

highlights OF A COLLABORATIVE LEARNING CLASSROOM
-
Our approach to education is centered around learner agency and competency based learning. Learners are empowered to take ownership of decisions surrounding their education, resulting in a greater sense of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Our environment is designed to foster this agency through learning portfolios, weekly conferences, and collaborative learning teams with their peers.
-
Mixed-age groups allow children to enjoy their accomplishments rather than compare themselves to others. Children learn to respect others while learning to respect their own individuality. The interaction of children of different ages encourages positive social interaction and collaborative learning.
-
Through our reflective practices, learners acquire an intrinsic appreciation for their education. Children are encouraged to pursue opportunities to learn in all parts of their life, not simply in the situations in which it is required. The result? An incomparable sense of self-awareness that only builds in complexity as children get older.
-
Immersion in a bilingual learning environment provides children invaluable cognitive benefits during an impressionable age. It offers a unique perspective on cultures other than their own and encourages them to become global citizens. The immersion that forms part of our model mimics natural acquisition and facilitates practicality.
-
Following the Planes of Development and the genius of Dr. Maria Montessori’s scientific observations, we support the child’s natural curiosity, creativity, and love for learning. Each child is empowered to embark on their lifelong quest for knowledge. Movement and play are incorporated daily.
-
Having several individuals to facilitate a classroom community allows students to connect with different personalities. Our co-planning process enables educators to bounce ideas off each other to deliver the most effective, personalized, and creative lessons.
-
We are always on the move! Our adventure van helps bring the world to our classroom as we plan for weekly outings outside of the learning center.
