OUR APPROACH

The Sisu Methods’ educational approach focuses on the whole child. Our day-to-day routines are rooted in outdoor exploration, community service, & real-life skills. While we do value traditional academia, our vision goes far beyond societal benchmarks.

We Combine Montessori & Charlotte Mason educational approaches for a holistic and engaging learning approach. Montessori’s focus on hands-on, self-directed learning complements Charlotte Mason’s emphasis on living books & nature studies. By integrating both methods, children can develop a well-rounded educational foundation that nurtures their curiosity, creativity, & love for learning.

The Sisu Method aims to instill foundational core values in an effort to build strong moral character.

HONESTY

Telling the truth,
even when it’s hard.

INTEGRITY

Doing the right thing,
no matter what.

RESPECT

Being open to others
feelings & opinions.

HUMILITY

Knowing we’re special,
but so are others.

KINDNESS

Showing care through
words and actions.

THE SISU METHOD

  • Fostering A Love Of Learning
    The Sisu Method aims to cultivate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking through Outdoor Exploration, Community Service, and Real Life Skills. We integrate academics into our everyday lives.

    Each Month
    We curate a special lesson plan to not only include academic learning objectives but also life skills such as cooking, cleaning, gardening, and mindfulness.

  • Organic Based Nutrition

    At Sisu, we prioritize serving nutrient-dense foods to optimize brain development, immune function, and blood sugar regulation. We believe that the food we eat can set the foundation for a focused and harmonious learning environment.

  • Chiropractic & Craniosacral

    We highly encourage our families to opt in for regular child and family visits with our preferred providers. Chiropractic and craniosacral adjustments promote proper alignment of the spine which supports both nervous system regulation and overall immune function, essential for a productive and positive learning experience.

  • Nervous System Regulation

    We believe that implementing tools to support proper regulation helps children manage stress, emotions, & behavior effectively, leading to improved mental health and cognitive functioning. Nervous system regulation supports the development of social skills, empathy, and self-regulation,which are essential for healthy relationships and academic success. Additionally, a well-regulated nervous system enhances children’s ability to focus, learn, and adapt to new environments, promoting resilience and emotional stability.
