The Advela Method &
Advela Way
The Advela Method
At the core of our learning system is what we call the Advela Method. The Advela Method is our teaching philosophy, validated over time, that capitalizes on the learning potential and capabilities of our students. We have developed our curriculum and teaching based on this model.
We at Advela stand behind the principle that learning is a cycle that builds on each of the elements described here.

Engagement
Students delve into the text and determine what the text is asking, look at new vocabulary or word studies they may encounter, determine the purpose and/or point of view of the text, and determine what type of response is appropriate.
The Advela Way
The Advela Way is our “recipe for success.” Research shows that students thrive in an environment where they are supported by family members and community who come alongside them in purposeful and engaging work.
At Advela, we know that we do not grow and teach students to reach their potential alone. We highlight the importance of partnership between Advela, the student, and parents so that the student can maximize his/her learning. We stress the importance of The Advela Way, which involves:
Partnership among student, teacher, and parents
"It takes a village to raise a child" is not just a phrase but a belief in a community's call to nurture a student's growth.
Communication
We encourage your input and provide feedback through monthly progress updates and as needed.
Small, safe, and non-threatening peer environment to learn with and from each other
