Our Core Processes

A Hero's Journey

Everybody is born to change the world, however that journey, the Hero's Journey is difficult. We work with heroes to prepare them for the path that lay ahead of them as they find their calling and change the world.

Studio Contracts

The heroes and parents develop contracts, and once acceptable, everybody signs them. This essentially becomes the constitution that everyone is held to. When a contract is broken, processes are developed to correct the situation.

SMART Goals

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound goals are created by heroes on a daily basis to keep them on their hero’s journey.

Studio Maintenance

At the end of every day, heroes are tasked to maintain the studio. This task transfers ownership of the studio to the heroes, making it feel like it is their community or another home.

The School Universe: Where Evergreen Fits In

There are many different types of schools, each with its own advantages and challenges.

Below is a simplified framework for understanding the broad categories of schools that exist currently. This framework is by no means comprehensive and the options you have available to you may vary depending on your geographical location. Think of this as a starting point as you begin to understand and navigate your educational options.

Enrollment + Tuition Information

Alternative Schedule

Studies show that long summer breaks cause a huge dip in learning retention. We operate on an alternative calendar of 4-6 week sessions or "Quests" with breaks in between sessions and a 7-8 week summer break. Our flexible program allows families to travel together during the year, without sacrificing any learning.

Rolling Enrollment

Because of this, we have a “rolling” enrollment process that enables us to consider applications submitted at any time during the year. Once accepted, your learner can start at the beginning of any Session scheduled throughout the year.
