Dear Sedulity School Supporters,
In 2018, I had a vision of starting a school whose focus was developing a growth mindset in students, and providing a world class education with high expectations to working class families. The 2018-2019 pilot program provided me with a great deal of lessons on what would and would not work in running such a program. However, the school had to take a hiatus due to financial issues.
In 2020, the school will change it's direction. While it's day school will not continue, it will provide numerous free and low-cost services that will continue to utilize The Sedulity School Curriculum. These services will include:
1. Summer programs for academic credit
2. Experiential Learning courses that teach advanced STEM courses by introducing children to hobbies
3. A foreign language academy that specializes in promoting multilingualism
We will make our curriculum and philosophy available to every family that shares The Sedulity School's nine values:
1. Productivity
2. Merit
3. Grit
4. Cooperation
5. Imagination
6. Empathy
7. Honesty
8. Discipline
9. Respect
Asante Sana (Thank you very much) to everyone that has supported The Sedulity School and it's vision for a growth-mindset centered education. Please stay connected with us and stay tuned.
Regards,
Gary C. Booker
