Cathy Burke's Company Details
The Sycamore School is an independent private nonprofit secondary school in Northern VA that focus on purposeful learning. We offer an engaging self-paced program, where students attend small classes that focus on skills-based instruction and project-based learning, allowing students to make connections across content areas. We use technology creatively to keep students engaged in the classroom and remotely. Our application of Universal Design for Learning allows students to access the curriculum using their strengths. Through integrating academic development, social-emotional development and civic engagement across the curriculum, students participate in activities that promote mindfulness, creative problem-solving, and pragmatic applications. Students have opportunities to apply learned skills to real-world experiences through partnerships with the community.
