A student with ADHD needs to have a class that offers them individualized attention, and they need more interaction with the teacher. In these classes’ teachers can be more creative in their presentation of the class material. 

Most children with ADHD want to do good at school, but they struggle to apply themselves in a big classroom. In a small classroom, the atmosphere is quieter, and with fewer students in the class, there is less distraction. Teachers have more time to teach because there are fewer discipline problems. Students are more likely to participate and become more involved because they have created a safe space for them to function in. The relationships between teachers and students are also closer, and a teacher can quickly pick up if the student needs extra attention. Not just academically but also emotionally.

 Studies have shown that you increase overall student achievement by reducing class size, especially in younger children. A small school like Hillside Akademie can make the CAPS curriculum more individually focused due to having fewer students. Most children with ADHD are brilliant, and in a small class, the teacher can cover additional material and use supplementary texts and enrichment activities.

Social connections are an essential part of children learning respect and consideration for one another. They understand that each child has his their way of thinking, and each child has their superpower. Hillside Akademie is your best option when it comes to having a homely environment. At Hillside Akademie, homeschooling is enhanced by passionate teachers.

With an ever-increasing emphasis on education and literacy, more and more children need help learning to read, spell, express their thought on paper and acquire good grammar use.

A dyslexic child who finds the acquisition of these literacy skills complex suffers a lot of anguish and trauma in a big classroom. They will thrive in a small class where they feel safe and understood. Teachers at Hillside Akademie are trained to assist these learners with their challenges.

A small class math intervention at a young age has been shown to build strong math skills. The studies suggest that small-group math instruction for younger students is a promising way of improving early mathematical competency.

Homeschooling at a tutoring centre like Hillside Akademie addresses all these challenges.
