Active Ambassadors Academy
May 6, 2011 12:55 pm From the Teacher, Homeschoolers No More, PhilippinesI am a believer in non-traditional school setups so when mommy blogger friends and I were invited to visit Active Ambassadors Academy, I did not hesitate to go because this is a school that has a part-traditional and part-progressive approach to teaching.
My children go to a similar school setup where as I, as a special education teacher and a former homeschooling mom, started teaching preschool using integrated core curriculum.
Based from the experiences of my mommy blogger friend iMom whose youngest son goes to Active Ambassadors Academy, I pretty much surmised that this school is different.
