Dynamic
& Fluid Learning Groups
Na`au's
learning options are taught in small groups and
facilitated by
Lois-Ann
Yamanaka
and/or
Melvin
E.
Spencer
III.
We sometimes have teaching assistants, skilled in the
Na`au approach to learning. Although we do our
best to make each K-12 learning group age appropriate, at times, we
have a mixture of ages. Since the size of our
groups is small, each learner is really afforded a lot
of individualized attention--this promotes good
learning. Therefore, the transition from one
group to another when necessary is really seamless
because of our attention to each learner's specific
needs.
Year-round programs are available for K-12 and
adult learners.
