What goes into a great school

There’s no one thing that makes a school truly superior. It is a complex equation of many factors, some of which include:

  • Recruiting and training the best educators
  • Nurturing a school culture that supports all learners
  • Choosing a challenging, innovative, student-focused curriculum
  • Effective management of all the factors that impact achievement

EdisonLearning takes into account how each aspect of the school relies on others. It’s a comprehensive, coherent and fully integrated set of service and support components carefully formulated to work seamlessly together.

 

The foundation of EdisonLearning™ School Designs

All of EdisonLearning’s offerings are rooted in a common philosophy, what we call the  Four Cornerstones™ of highly effective schools.

The importance of the Four Cornerstones approach is that EdisonLearning solutions are holistic – both comprehensive and cohesive, with all parts of the solution interacting and supporting one another for a total solution that is far more than the sum of its parts.

All features of EdisonLearning School Designs align with the principles of our Four Cornerstones:

  1. Top Talent
  2. Culture of Engagement and Aspiration
  3. Demanding Content and Customized Instruction
  4. Achievement-Driven Management.
