Exalt Academy's Eight-Element Design
Exalt Academy selected eight elements to support our belief statements because they are research-backed and represent the best educational practices. We are committed to providing our students with the highest quality education. These Eight Elements have consistently proven effective in preparing students for college and are used in exemplary public schools nationwide. We are proud to be among the few schools that have integrated all eight elements into a single, cohesive model.
1. Truly Personalized Instruction
At Exalt Academy, we recognize that each student is unique and learns at their own pace in their own way. Regardless of age or grade level, our instruction is specifically designed to meet students where they are academically. This personalized approach ensures that students master the necessary skills to progress on their educational journey while allowing them to accelerate without limitations.
2. More Focused Learning Time
Exalt Academy extends the traditional school year and day, offering more focused learning time than surrounding schools. Instruction begins at 7:30 a.m. and concludes at 3:30 p.m., providing students with more opportunities for deep, high-quality learning. Additionally, we recognize the urgency of every instructional moment; for us, every minute counts.
3. Multimodal and Interdisciplinary Instruction
At Exalt Academy, we create a multi-modal learning environment where instruction is delivered through a variety of formats—lectures, reading, presentations, group work, and more. This variety enhances student engagement and retention, ensuring that learning happens in the most effective way for each student throughout the day.
Our interdisciplinary approach integrates subjects such as math, art, geography, and literacy into project-based learning, encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and knowledge synthesis across disciplines.

4. Diverse Assessments and Data
Exalt Academy uses a data-driven approach to planning high-quality, personalized instruction for each student. This approach enhances student outcomes and drives success by giving educators a holistic view of each student’s academic progress. By analyzing this data, we tailor instruction to meet individual needs, ensuring that every student receives the right support and challenges.

6. Technology-Enhanced Instruction
Technology plays a critical role in classrooms of Exalt Academy, with tools like document cameras, Apple TVs, iPads, Chromebooks, and interactive whiteboards used to enrich learning experiences. Teachers leverage various platforms for reporting, monitoring, grading, and developing personalized assessments. Structured, technology-enhanced literacy and math programs ensure that all students build the skills they need to succeed.
