Personalized Learning

We believe every child learns differently, and at xMA, that difference is celebrated. Our Personalized Learning model puts students at the center of their education by tailoring instruction to individual needs, strengths, and interests. Using core strategies like Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Small Group Instruction, Blended Learning, and Mastery-Based Progression, students move at their own pace and receive the support or challenge they need. Learning is tracked through Personalized Learning Plans, Challenge Boards, and student-led portfolios, ensuring every learner is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Social-Emotional Learning

At xMA, we teach the whole child not just academics.

Our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) approach is embedded into every classroom and interaction, helping students build emotional intelligence, empathy, resilience, and a strong sense of self. Grounded in the CASEL core competencies and reinforced by our P.O.W.E.R. values, SEL at xMA includes daily check-ins, restorative practices,, and culture-building routines.

 

Students learn to regulate emotions, resolve conflicts, and develop the confidence to lead with purpose in school and in life.
