 The American Emergent Curriculum

AEC Lightbulb Logo White_edited.png

Powering the New American School

Parents and educators are fed up with outdated, repetitive curricula and exhausted by inadequate training that yields poor results for children. For over 100 years, pedagogical science has emphasized that children need to move, manipulate, engage, collaborate, and experience learning.

After 12 years of dedicated research and training, we proudly introduce the solution that innovative education leaders need and communities crave: the American Emergent Curriculum.

In a study of 4th graders, AEC educated children performed at double the national average.
(ERB 2023)

The AEC is the only interconnected curriculum program in the United States using proven pedagogical methodologies. It combines what we know scientifically works in learning with what we love about traditional American schools.  It aligns with the most difficult standards in the country.

 

Learning finally becomes engaging, successful, accomplished and multi-dimensional all at once.  Children run into classrooms at the beginning of each day.  Educators receive an abundance of training.  And we do all the work giving you and your Team time for the fun part of being in a school.

How do we do this?

STRUCTURED WORK CYCLE

Our structured foundation allows children to master academic skills through tactile engagement and rigor before moving on to the next challenge.  For example, math proficiency is attained by using concrete representations in addition to paper and pencil.  Done in three-year cycles, this ensures a deep understanding without the dreaded gaps in learning. Socratic Quizzes, Rigor, Movement, Stories, and Educator-Based Assessments drive a child's success.
