The Learning Profile

Frontier’s niche in the public school community is that we offer to assess every child’s unique patterns of learning through the Frontier Learning Profile. The Frontier Learning Profile consists of a series of assessments based on the most up-to-date brain research that helps parents understand how their child learns. A learning profile is a map or picture of an individual’s unique patterns of noticing and taking in information, processing and organizing it and operation within the three domains of the mind; the cognitive or intellectual, the emotional, and the volitional or will (values).

EVERY child has exciting potential to learn but no two children learn alike. It is one of the most marvelous opportunities in life, to discover the unique worldview of each child. Too seldom do educators/parents really listen to children. Through intelligent AWARENESS, observing, listening and testing we can learn much about the potential ability and achievement levels of children. Through listening and observing children functioning in different situations we can identify the level on which students are functioning and begin to understand the uniqueness of each individual. As their current patterns are understood we can help the students become aware of these and facilitate their growth. In this way we will be better able to help our children become all they can be.

Learning profiles are offered to Frontier Charter School students as an additional tool for parents to use to best home school their student.
