Crossway's Instructional Model

At Crossway Academy, we recognize that every child learns differently. Our instructional model combines small-group teaching, hands-on exploration, and personalized learning to help students build academic skills, confidence, and independence.
Small-Group Instruction
Students receive targeted instruction in literacy, math, and other academic subjects within small groups, allowing teachers to adapt lessons to their learning needs and pace.

Hands-On, Project-Based Learning
Our multisensory approach brings learning to life. Students explore a topic, plan and create projects, and share what they have learned through presentations. Projects may extend from the classroom to home, giving students additional opportunities to practice skills and connect learning to everyday life.

Personalized, Student-Centered Learning
Teachers, therapists, families, and students collaborate to develop personalized learning plans. Our approach encourages exploration, choice, and independence while providing the structure and support each student needs to succeed.
Flexible Curriculum
We draw from a variety of curriculum resources and adapt instruction to each student’s strengths, developmental level, and goals. These resources include:

• Math: IXL, Dimensions Math and McRuffy
• Literacy and Phonics: Heggerty, Letters and Sounds, EL Education, and ReadWorks
• Handwriting: Handwriting Without Tears
• Career Readiness and Life Skills: I Can Work! and Soft Skills to Pay the Bills

Real-World Learning
Our relationships with local businesses give students opportunities to explore different professions and practice skills in workplace settings. These experiences reinforce classroom lessons in communication, teamwork, responsibility, and independence.

Learning Across Classrooms
Through departmentalized instruction, students experience different teaching styles as they rotate among teachers and learning spaces for designated subjects. This approach helps students practice transitions, build flexibility, and grow as independent learners.
