IDAHO MASTERY EDUCATION BENEFITS/STRENGTHS

 BUILDING THE FOUNDATION FOR PERSONALIZED LEARNING
 Students work at a flexible pace, with choice and voice in their learning. Instructional support is given
 with an emphasis placed on fully learning instead of just earning grades, which builds their confidence
 for when the time comes to assess their skills and knowledge.
