North Tampa Christian Academy, a top Tampa private school, is an innovative school with a hands-on, project-based learning environment. We produce Christian leaders who impact the global community for God’s Glory. We have compiled a list of the overall benefits to your child learning in such a powerful teaching method!

Better Performance
Studies have shown that this type of hands-on, project-based learning has increased student test scores. Additionally, attendance and engagement in the classroom have also been improved. Watch as his attention span becomes more focused and those test scores rise! This creates a stronger relationship between the teacher and children. 

Forming Relationships
A hands-on facilitator is an instructional method that helps your child collaborate and build relationships. Forming relationships is one of the key components in this innovative type of learning. Like many young students, your student most likely learns better by working in a group. He will be able to give feedback while working on his problem solving and listening skills. Teamwork is an essential skill that will boost his ability to communicate.

Solving Problems
Problem-solving is a skill set that will benefit your child throughout his life. After building bonds with his peers, he can work with them on community issues. Teach him that failure is a part of life, and he can always pick himself back up. Strategic thinking allows him to manage obstacles by planning ahead, asking questions, and developing solutions to challenges. Learning to try again now gives him insight into his future career — and life in general.

Boosting Confidence
When your child finds his voice and discovers who he is, he starts to take pride in what he does. Taking ownership of the work he’s done and celebrating his accomplishments will make him feel empowered to do more. He will feel a sense of purpose which will help him reach his future career goals.

Explore Curiosity
Your child has a natural curiosity. Encourage him to explore that by asking questions. Our curriculum includes a variety of courses designed to spark your child’s interest. Whether he prefers building, science projects, or designing buildings, we offer it all. Watch him form a new love of learning simply by watching and learning how things are done!
