2021 Private Education Awards

Page 22 www.lux-review.com LUX 2021 Private Education Awards At the heart of Christ the Teacher Academy, is the concept of Christ as the model teacher in every respect. The entire school is built around trying to replicate his way of living so that students may reach their full spiritual, intellectual, moral, physical and social potential. In this way, through careful moral lessons and modern teaching, they will help to create a generation that will thrive for years to come. Since it first opened its doors, Christ the Teacher Academy has welcomed pupils of all backgrounds. Those who come to this incredible institution are encouraged to build a solid foundation in academia, faith and citizenship. Each child is educated and guided so that they may perform to their individual best, building up a strong sense of community that ensures that students can flourish throughout their academic careers. The success of this approach has led to many different accolades, and parents are delighted to know that their child is being sent to a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The range of different skills being taught at the school embraces various academic subjects as well as STEM, art, music, physical education, library and computers. Having a broad education is vital to the growth of any young mind, and the team at Christ the Teacher take the time to ensure that their students have the access and opportunities to explore that they need. Schools have to adapt to teach their students how to thrive in the world as it is, not only today, but long into the future. The embracing of new technologies and implementation of them into the curriculum is key. We take a look at the incredible Christ the Teacher Academy following its success in the Private Education Awards to see how its staff have been able to incorporate the latest and greatest developments of our time into their students’ lives.

By collaborating on behalf of students, it is possible for the school to grow more effectively and offer a better educational resource that ties subjects together. Everything is interconnected, and taking the time to enhance these connections has proven a key part of the team’s successful teaching strategy. Part of the team’s recent success story has been in the field of STEM, with the school embracing the value of robotics and ecology to the future of our planet. Students do not just understand the importance of these subjects, but know that they will play an enormous role in their lives moving forward. While many educational institutes will offer these as optional extras to the curriculum, Christ the Teacher Academy has made it their business to ensure that their pupils are ready for what the future has to offer. With such a comprehensive program on offer, it’s little wonder that Fort Lee’s brightest and best come to attend this incredible school. The success of Christ the Teacher Academy has seen it named “The Best of the Fort Lee” area in schools for the second year in a row, as well as its success in the LUXlife Private Education Awards. The school is always trying to find new ways to stretch its pupils, and this is best shown by the team’s great Gifted and Talented Program for students in grades 3-8. This school pushes them as far as they can go, in order to ensure they are living up to their true potential. The triumph of Christ the Teacher Academy will be of no surprise to those who have heard of it. The team’s commitment to its students is truly second-to-none. We celebrate their amazing success this year and look forward to whatever they achieve in the weeks and months to come.
