Who We Are:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
BSLC was started in 2014 by George Popham with a simple thought – “The way we teach kids in many public schools just isn’t\u00a0working. I think there’s a better way”. George had been teaching in public schools for many years and he could see that kids were\u00a0learning to memorize, follow rules, take tests and complete homework, and though there were likely some skills that they might take\u00a0with them into adulthood, the most important ones weren’t being taught. They weren’t figuring out how to learn on their own, how to\u00a0think on their own, or how to manage their own time.\u00a0Thus BSLC was born and we’ve been encouraging kids to take control of their\u00a0learning\u00a0ever since.<\/p>\n
Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that\u00a0children are naturally curious & creative\u00a0and that they thrive in an environment\u00a0that fosters those traits, not one that thwarts their imagination. It understands that\u00a0kids learn differently but surely\u00a0and that\u00a0no one size\u00a0fits all. It puts the emphasis on learning that helps teens be prepared to\u00a0lead a satisfying life, personally and professionally, in a\u00a0constantly changing & evolving world rather than educating based on yesterday’s needs.<\/p>\n
BSLC is built with a core belief that growing to be a\u00a0compassionate and responsible individual is just as important as growing\u00a0academically. You will see BSLC teens actively working towards being meaningful community members.<\/p>\n
