One such school is EverGreen Academy, comprised of two campuses with over 400 total students. Hillary Huck, the school\u2019s Director of Operations, reports that enrollment at EverGreen has little (if anything) to do with market advertising; rather, families hear about the school from those in their community. Personal references are the top reason why parents choose to send their students to EverGreen, coupled with the fact that the school is an affordable option for parents seeking non-religious private education in the Racine area.<\/p>\n<p>Their vision revolves around nurturing each student as a whole person, which places social-emotional practices and \u201creal-life\u201d skill building as important as traditional academics. At the elementary campus, 4K and 5K classes are play-based, allowing students to dynamically engage in the curriculum. Starting this school year, the middle school students take a required \u201clife skills\u201d class to learn about social-emotional strategies, general executive functioning, and even financial basics. These methods help instill the school\u2019s values\u2014security, perseverance, respect, and joy\u2014into the students.<\/p>\n<p>These values are embodied not only by the students, but also by the faculty and staff. Ms. Huck credits EverGreen\u2019s faculty as one of the driving forces of their familial culture, who are trained in and practice the Love and Logic educational approach. \u201cSchools are for children,\u201d says Huck, \u201cbut it\u2019s really about the quality of teachers you have.\u201d <strong>By investing in their faculty, the positive energy trickles down to their students in the pursuit to help them become better citizens of their community.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/schoolchoicewi.org\/a-school-leader-in-mount-pleasant-wi\/\">A school leader in Mount Pleasant, WI<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/schoolchoicewi.org\">School Choice Wisconsin<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/schoolchoicewi.org\/a-school-leader-in-mount-pleasant-wi\/ Many people associate private schools with being religiously affiliated;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":196,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-school-choice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15425,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15424\/revisions\/15425"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
