EYC Academy Opens in Town and Country
New Academy focuses on one to one learning
ST. Louis— 07/19/2018 — Empowering Youth and Communities Academy [EYC], which opened its doors this year, was conceived by a team of local educators whose vision was to bring outstanding, one-to-one private education from 6th- through 12th-grade students. EYC provides a one-teacher, one-student approach for those seeking a more attentive and therapeutic educational environment.
“The critical piece for me about EYC is the ‘Why?’,” EYC Academy Director Lou Reuss said. “We believe that education can be different. We believe that every child can have an education that’s fitted to their learning style.” EYC offers a unique, alternative learning program for students outside of the traditional classroom. These offerings include educational therapies and counseling, tailored teaching for those with learning challenges and those who are gifted, private tutoring, test prep, social skills and small group classes, homeschooling partnerships and more. One-to-one instruction individualizes the learning process, allows students to work at a tailored pace, and addresses a range of learning styles and needs. EYC offers a competency-based approach with part or full-time rolling enrollment, giving each student the benefit of a fully individualized program in a private, stress free setting. The EYC model embraces the idea that it’s not about going to school…it’s about going places.
EYC blends academic and therapeutic interventions so each student gets the benefit of a program with a comprehensive, state-approved curriculum supported by PAWs for reading (therapeutic support dogs) and the integration of the Love and Logic approach. EYC’s team addresses challenges including anxiety, depression and ADHD, while providing parent and peer-to-peer support groups. EYC Academy is centrally located in the heart of West St. Louis County at 195 Lamp and Lantern Village, Town & Country, telephone: (636) 220-3344 For more information, visit eycacademystl.org
