The desire to effect change, the drive to learn, the capacity to
concentrate, the ability to function creatively, the motivation
to do well, and the self-discipline to keep on learning are the
true basics of education. Abiqua School exists to develop these
attributes.
Abiqua School is recognized for the individual attention it
provides its students, strong academics and a vibrant community
spirit. The school provides a child-centered developmental
approach to learning. At Abiqua, we believe that education is
not simply a task of intellectual development, but one of
physical, ethical and emotional growth. Abiqua’s faculty teaches
to the whole child, assessing how each student learns and
teaching to individual strengths.
Instilling joy in learning takes time and conscious effort. It
takes parents who see an interest in their child and look for
ways to encourage it. It takes teachers who make subjects
engaging and relevant to their students’ lives. It takes
administrators who support them. At Abiqua you will find a
community that values true learning. Our students do
exceptionally well on standardized tests, but education at
Abiqua goes beyond grades and test scores to authentic
instruction and meaningful learning.
