Aya Academy of Excellence, Duluth

Aya Academy of Excellence believes that every mind deserves a nurturing environment to learn. Therefore, the Academy promotes innovative instruction in small, customized academic workshops. Classes focus on stem learning—such as math and robotics—and include hands-on activities and sensory experiences. A learning lab incorporates writers workshops, Montessori sessions, and technology programs to help kids in grades 1–8 explore their academic potential and their brain's potential to move objects on its own. Saturday classes for homeschool students and summer camps also combine these lessons with topics such as environmental science, engineering, and architecture.
