Our Philosophy
Education should foster holistic child development—physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Family-school partnership is crucial, respecting the sanctity of family life. Learning extends beyond formal schooling, encompassing home, school, and community opportunities. Through arts education, students cultivate essential values and skills, connecting diverse disciplines and fostering joy in learning.
The Millennium Difference
Millennium Academy prioritizes hands-on learning, integrating arts into academic subjects. Instructional approaches include computer-assisted learning, small group seminars, and collaborative methods. Technology is integrated into the curriculum, teaching students various applications and research skills. Parents are integral partners, shaping individualized educational plans with faculty.
Assessment at Millennium Academy is multifaceted, focusing on individual goals rather than high-stakes tests. Arts involvement is central to the curriculum, boosting academic achievement and fostering well-rounded individuals.
The Importance of Arts
Arts education enhances problem-solving, critical thinking, and overall academic success. It fosters craftsmanship, goal-setting, and parental/community engagement. Arts education promotes appreciation, work ethic, and socio-economic equity. It stimulates imagination, cognitive skills, and teaches essential life skills, fostering values like teamwork, cultural appreciation, and responsibility.
