VanDamme Academy offers a quality education of the kind that has been lost for generations. We teach the fascinating story of history, not the fragmented facts-and-figures subject of social studies. We teach timeless classics of literature, not dry, didactic textbook readers. We teach science through presentations that unlock principles governing the physical world, not as technical jargon to be memorized. Our students graduate with extensive knowledge, enthusiasm for life and learning, and the ability to express themselves clearly and eloquently. 15/1 ratio; no homework.
