The administration, faculty, and staff at The Chase Academy believe that student success is dependent upon the integration of the student's personal interests into the curriculum. Students will be highly encouraged to explore their individual passions in a manner that encourages a desire to learn. This latest educational philosophy is called teaching with relevance. Making the educational experience relevant and applicable to the individual student's life encourages extended focus, memory and recall, critical thinking skills, and love of learning.
