Who is Telos not for?

Parents looking for the items listed below, may be challenged by Telos’ philosophy and may feel it is not the right place for their family: 

  • Students and families who prefer teacher-led instructions instead of peer-to-peer learning or mentor-guided exploration. 

  • Families who thrive in or prefer highly structured environments with traditional hierarchies.

  • Those who rely heavily on external motivation or need frequent reminders and directions on how/what to do.

  • Those who aren't sure their child is ready yet for the responsibility and struggles of truly independent learning.

  • Those looking for a “last resort” option due to behavioral or disciplinary issues at previous schools.
