What parents should know
The new school is called Cairn & Compass Academy and will be led by Brittany Alice.
“This space is the beginning of something close to my heart: a relationship-centered learning community built on the belief that every young person carries an internal compass worth trusting,” Alice said in a Facebook post.
Cairn & Compass Academy will serve neurodivergent students ages 5 to 8 in the Schertz, Cibolo and Marion area, according to the academy's Facebook page.
What else?
The learning academy will cater to younger children who do well in smaller, calmer and hands-on classroom settings. Pedagogical methods will include a focus on autonomy, interactive learning, emotional regulation and a gentle class structure, according to a flyer from the school.
Alice told Community Impact that she is still working on finding a "home-like" environment to host the learning pod. It will most likely be located somewhere in Schertz or Cibolo, in time for the upcoming school year, Alice said.
Cairn & Compass Academy is accepting applications and is anticipated to open next fall.
