Aspire Savannah’s founder reflects here in “How does the classroom feel?” on the fact what you measure tells a lot about what is meaningful to you. What is meaningful to you dictates a lot about your classroom atmosphere.
At Aspire Savannah private school in Savannah’s Isle of Hope neighborhood, their studios are different from a traditional classroom. They are less bureaucratic and more personalized. There are fewer learners, more freedom of choice, and more customization of content. This alone makes our atmosphere an alternative to traditional school.

(Pictured below: SURF (Silent Uninterrupted Reading for Fun). That is when Aspire Savannah students take a break and read a book of choice. It’s an ideal time for older learners to practice good time management and select a book that will count toward their “Deep Book” requirement. )
Aspire Savannah’s founder reflects here in “Teaching Style and The Learning Environment” on the fact that when the test is what everyone looks at and remembers, how can a teacher not be teaching to the test? It’s what industrial education was built to do.
In contrast, an inquiry-based classroom – like that @ Aspire Savannah – promotes a student-centered approach, fostering a teaching style that is more exploratory.

Aspire Savannah’s founder reflects here in “Unlimited Growth Through Assessment” on the importance of assessment in the learning environment. Assessment reveals what is actually happening in a classroom and highlights an organization’s or group’s core values.
Assessment is a crucial indicator of what is truly important in any learning environment because everything that happens in that environment is downstream of how assessment is handled.
Aspire Savannah’s founder reflects here in “Inspiration Matters” on how inspiration shapes everything that happens downline. What has inspired the learning model you most connect with? Read more here.
