Why Confidence Academy?

Most people I have talked to think the idea behind Confidence Academy is a solid one... a place where parents and teachers can get support for their children in a place where education is taken very seriously and progress is closely monitored and clearly communicated to the parents.  Think Sylvan(R), yet on a smaller, more personal scale.

As a Maine educator, I know first hand the dedication that our teachers have for the kids in their classes.  I also know that there is only so much one educator can do when faced with the constraints of today's educational system.  Let's face it... teachers are putting in many more hours than their salary supports, and unfortunately there is only so much one teacher can do in a 6-7 hour day. Confidence Academy understands this, has experienced this and wants to help!  That's where the foundation for Confidence Academy lies.

Some kids need more, plain and simple.  This is not to imply that they aren't getting what they need in school.  This is just to say that some kids need more time to practice math skills, more time to write with a certified educator nearby for support and more time to read where there is support when needed.  Some students need more to be able to succeed and that's where we step in.  Confidence Academy will be that place where kids can get more of what they need.  Time.  Time to process, synthesize, ask questions and practice the skills they are already learning.  Confidence Academy will also be there when students are ready to take their learning to the next level with focused lesson planning that is designed to guide the learner to their own discoveries.

Confidence Academy is quality, hand-on educational support, educational achievement and educational enrichment all in one place.  We want to serve all students in the State of Maine either in person or over the web with all of their learning needs.
