Our LEARNING Center
The I’mPerfect Place’s Learning Center offers an opportunity for home-schooled students to learn in a supportive and accommodating environment. Using curriculum from Khan Academy, our staff supports and accommodates our Learners for Math, daily. We make every effort to ensure the curriculum is matched to each Learner. Additionally, each Learner chooses a topic of their choice to explore and research each month. These topics may include subjects in Science, English, History or Art and offer the Learner to educate themselves and their peers through presentations.
Learners participate in monthly team meetings with their family and staff. Because we also want to offer opportunities for social and emotional regulation, each Learner and their team will create one goal to address these areas. We know that traditional school limitations do not allow for these special and important areas to be addressed. Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for more detailed answers to common questions.
Our COMMUNITY
Community support is an important part of our program. We know many different learners have felt misunderstood. We provide opportunities for our Learners to engage with peers, knowing they will be supported through hardships.
After all, learning is imperfect.
We know the families of our Learners have also experienced judgment and criticism as they face how to support their Learners. We therefore encourage our community to be accepting of ALL Learners, despite their challenges.
Our MENTORS
For each of our Learners, we offer an opportunity to gain mentorship from other neuro-divergent individuals. We have a number of older Mentors who volunteer to answer any questions our Learners have and provide guidance for issues and concerns our special community encounters. We do our best to pair our Learners with like-minded Mentors. To learn about our Mentors, click the link below!
