Score Academy opens its new Miami campus on Thursday, June 18. Walk the building, meet the teachers, and sit with families already enrolled.
When a plant isn't growing, you check the soil first. Why don't we do the same for our children?
A good gardener doesn't blame the seed. They look at the light, the water, and the soil. Children aren't so different. Join Head of School Michael Rombola and Rose Else-Mitchell, Teaching Fellow at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, as they explore the environments that help children thrive at school and at home.
We keep our classes small, so no student gets lost in the crowd. That's a big part of why families who enroll tend to stay.
What's shaping whether your child engages with school or checks out
Why your child's attention works more like a small desk than a filing cabinet, and what that means for phones, multitasking, and homework
The real difference between studying and learning, and why rereading notes feels productive when it mostly isn't
A short home audit you can run this week, focused on one change you'll stick with
How your child's school and home fit into a much bigger picture of how they learn
Something about how your child's doing at school feels off and you can't quite put your finger on it
You're trying to build better habits at home without turning into the homework police
You're a teacher or tutor looking for a sharper way to talk with families about this
You're weighing up schools and want a real framework to judge them by
You'd rather go with the research than a gut feeling
Mike has a Master's in Education from Penn. He started out in Title I schools in West Philadelphia as a Job Coach and Adult Literacy Instructor, work that shaped how he thinks about school. He's run programs in Philadelphia, New York, and internationally, was CEO of Chester County Family Charter School, and most recently led Fusion Academy Miami. He knows this city and its families well.

Before Harvard, Rose spent twenty years building some of the most widely used learning programs in American schools, first at Scholastic, then as Chief Learning Officer at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. She now chairs the Industry Council at the EdTech Evidence Exchange, which exists to check whether education products work. She started out as an English teacher in Sydney, Australia, so this isn't theoretical for her.
