Learning at home made easy
For PreK-12th grade students and their families
Welcome to Modulo
Modular education is a new way of approaching your child’s learning. In traditional education, most of the education takes place in one location and through one institution, and is uniform for a group. In Modular education, families pull together a mosaic of resources for their individual chid’s education, drawing from a variety of different organizations and sources:
Mastery Learning. 1:1 teaching sessions led by a family member, teacher or subject expert and independent study with digital apps, books or other offline and online resources.
Social-emotional learning. Social and educational group activities that align with your child’s interests and give them lots of time to play and learn collaboratively in a peer group.
Self-directed education. Unstructured time for self-directed learning, free play, and child-initiated projects.
Community. Field trips, park days, volunteering and social gatherings with an inclusive and diverse learning community.
Support from families, teachers and experts who have experience with a Modular approach to learning to mentor you and guide you along the way.
