PERSONALIZED ADAPTIVE LEARNING SYSTEMS
Palm Academy is proud to partner with PALS supplementary education system to offer children in kindergarten through eighth grade (K - 8) a personalized, comprehensive curriculum to help them excel in school. The PALS process begins with an Initial Assessment, which provides our instructors with an accurate analysis of students’ strengths, weaknesses, and learning gaps. We will then create a custom-crafted curriculum featuring a step-by-step scaffolding structure to help your child build a solid foundation in Math and English. Interim Assessments every month ensure that students have learned and retained the essential skills from the previous month, and that parents are kept up-to-date on their progress. PALS is fun, affordable, and provides a great opportunity to help your child excel in school and life.

PALS ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
Your child’s Initial Assessment takes place when they first enter the program or when they advance to the next grade level. The goal of the Initial Assessment is to provide the Palm Academy PALS director and instructors with an accurate overview of your child’s academic strengths, weakness, and areas for improvement. Our PALS-trained teaching staff will then craft a personalized curriculum for your child based on their knowledge level and learning gaps. Every PALS curriculum features step-by-step, scaffolded learning focused on conceptual understanding.
INTERIM ASSESSMENTS
Your child will then be given an Interim Assessment every four or five weeks. Interim Assessments ensure that students have retained the skills that they learned from the previous month’s curriculum and help keep parents alert to their child’s progress. If an Interim Assessment determines that a student has not retained certain concepts, they will then go over these knowledge areas until they have graspect them fully. This allows every student to go at their own individual pace — an opportunity that children don’t have during regular school hours.
MATH
Understanding mathematical concepts is essential to children’s success in school. If you’ve noticed that your child seems to be falling behind in their math skills, the Palm Academy PALS Enrichment Program can help. Each math concept is presented in small steps for ease of understanding. PALS math curriculums are fun, engaging, comprehensive, and challenging to ensure optimal retention of knowledge that they can translate into their school assignments.
ENGLISH
Every PALS English curriculum is based on Common Core Standards to help students build a solid foundation in reading, language skills, and writing. Workbooks provide rich content that focuses on comprehension, conceptual understanding, vocabulary building, grammar, and writing. With the PALS English curriculum, your child will learn how they can harness the power of words to excel in school and in life.
COMPREHENSIVE, CUSTOMIZED CURRICULUMS
At Palm Academy, we know that every child is unique. That’s why we provide our PALS students with curriculums as one-of-a-kind as they are. While school provides a great opportunity for children to learn age-appropriate skills, it doesn’t account for any knowledge gaps, and moves at a pace that some children may not be able to keep up with. When you enroll your child in the Palm Academy PALS Enrichment Program, you can rest assured that they are getting a high-quality supplementary education customized just for them.
