Wavecrest Academy is a school that emphasizes unifying concepts. For example, a world history lesson may include math, geology and creative writing. Most lessons also incorporate physical movement to activate the entire brain while learning. The micro school is currently accepting new K-12 students. 

“Our goal is to bridge the gap between facts and experience through integrated curriculum,” says founder Brandy Arrajj. “Our focus is on making connections for students, allowing them to engage in relevant, meaningful activities that can be connected to their lives in a useful way.”

Located in the Eau Gallie Art District of Melbourne, Wavecrest Academy can engage with the community and students can learn through hands-on activities.

“Our setting also has a flexible schedule allowing students that are engrossed in a project the ability to stay focused and continue their activities instead of having to move to new classroom each period,” says Arrajj. “Individualized lesson plans offer the ability to excel in any subject and one-on-one attention is given in the more challenging areas.”

The school has an atmosphere of kindness, encouragement and collaboration, which provides a nurturing, safe environment for teaching the whole child through social emotional learning, giving the advantages of both homeschool and private school.
