Core Values

Faith in God
Helping children find and deepen their relationship with God helps them to understand the world around them. Teachers of Cedar Pointe Learning Academy are able to present a better understanding of life with the ability to teach about God. We believe that God gives each child a purpose and they should be able to discover their passions and talents knowing there is a God who loves them. This is the glue holding our program together; it is why we serve, why we love, and why we persevere.


Mastery Based Approach
Students have individual needs and are guided through the appropriate skills to build knowledge. This begins with fundamental reading and math skills. Students will present projects and portfolios to show their mastery learning. As they approach the level of excellence in each skill, students will show their work and it will be added to their portfolio for parents to see. Teachers will provide small group instruction alongside comprehensive, individualized technology programs and hands-on learning to help students succeed.


Multi-age Level Classrooms
Students learn to work with peers of all ages and encourage each other along the way. This key value promotes self advocacy, guiding students to take responsibility for their learning. This will help students leave our school with the ability to voice their needs in group situations and relationships with people of all ages and abilities.


Service to Community
Jesus teaches us to love with compassion and serve others before ourselves. This is put into practice right in our community. We will work hard to solve local problems with service projects and volunteer opportunities.


Family Centered Learning 
We believe that family involvement is essential to each child’s development and learning. We encourage parental involvement in our school with volunteer opportunities, the ability to visit your children, and to spend time in our facilities.

Meet the Teacher

Academy Director and Elementary Teacher- Lachelle King
 


Education:


Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, Licensed Kindergarten-6th grade


Master’s degree in Reading Education
Certification for Academic Language Therapist (in process)

 


I am so excited to be on this adventure! I am a mother of three boys 22, 20, and 17 years old. I love hanging out with my family and camping any time we can. I enjoy exploring new hobbies and being outside. I have been in the education field since 2009 when I started as a substitute teacher in the Derby School system. I graduated from Southwestern College and became a first grade teacher, which at the time was my dream job! After several years in that position God gave me a passion for older elementary students. I spent 2 years teaching 5th graders before I felt a need to really understand how kids learn to read. This led me to get both my masters degree and to become a reading specialist! I love teaching kids how to read and believe that God gave me a gift to see what kids need and understand how to move them forward. It is my goal for my students to love learning and to realize that they have been given a gift by God that they can use to change the lives of the people around them!
