What Spoke to You During 2021

Lamad Academy’s 2021 collection of blog posts details our approach to education, STEM, and advice for handling middle school

2021 was, in many ways, similar to 2020. We continued to navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic and took steps to stay safe and healthy. At Lamad Academy, school was open for students and it included opportunities to enrich the educational experience. Our 2021 blog posts focused on three important areas:

• A well-rounded education

• Adjusting to middle school life

• The importance of STEM and STEAM education

Graduating from elementary school to middle school is a big deal and we recognize that. The differences include:

• How the school day runs

• New environments and changing classes

• Increased responsibilities for you and your child

On our blog, we strive to give our parents well-researched information to make the transition to middle school as easy as possible.

STEM and STEAM continue to be major sources of opportunity for every student. We provide quality STEM and STEAM education for every student. With the digital revolution in full swing, we’re helping to prepare students for the new frontier and lucrative careers!

Now, without further ado, let’s dive into our best blog posts of 2021.

Posts on The Lamad Academy difference

We believe that understanding technology is one of the keys to unlocking your child’s long-term success. It’s important in middle school and long after graduation. We also believe in keeping parents and guardians of our students informed of advances in technology. We let you know about the tools we adopt in the classroom and how they will help your child.

We also know that every child is a unique learner. Not everyone learns at the same rate or in the same way. These posts from 2021 offer important insights into how Lamad Academy stands apart from the rest and how we meet individual students' needs.
