OUR STORY:Corvid Academy began in early 2000 with one teacher, in one room, teaching four, full-time students. Prior to accepting full-time students, the teacher, Linda Sofa, had already garnered a reputation as The Reading Tutor, helping ESL and Special Education students since 1985. The success of the full-time program spread, exclusively by word of mouth, and a school soon took shape under the moniker Sofa-So-Good Learning Center (named for its founders, Faitala and Linda Sofa). Today, the school continues to take flight, adding online remote learning and new locations, and we have re-branded as Corvid Academy to capture and reflect this progression. HOW WE DIFFEROur students regularly complete multiple grade levels per academic school year through a unique utilization of standards-based computer software, internet programs, and text books. Traditionally, individual student development is restrained to that of the class with progression restricted until all students comprehend the material. By minimizing classroom lecture time, leveraging technology, and providing one-on-one assistance, we have created an environment where students learn independently. Students are individually assessed to discover precisely where each is at and with what material each struggles; then, this information is used to create a unique lesson plan that focuses on improvement exactly where it is needed most. This allows our students to be way ahead of the curve, and those that have fallen behind at their previous schools, to get back on course. At 195 school days per year (two weeks more than the national average), we offer more school days than any other school in Hawaii, providing your child the time to maximize their advancement. Additionally, Saturday school and/or extended days are mandatory for those that have not completed their assigned work. Students will finish their lesson plans. The lowest passing grade at Corvid Academy is an 80% - without exception.
