Our educational philosophy places the student at the center of the learning process, surrounded by what we know through research and experience are the skills that a student needs in order to succeed in school, in college, in the workplace and throughout life.
We recognize that every student who comes to an Envision program comes with a strong foundation of achievement and a unique background that reflects the families, schools and communities in which they are a part of. Our programs build on this foundation with a range of content that interests students, motivates their active participation and inspires them to step out of their comfort zone and expand their personal development.

Five Key Elements
The five elements that have guided Envision’s educational philosophy since its inception are solidly grounded in research about essential skills and best learning practices. Using real-life simulations, role-playing activities, problem-based and project-based learning strategies, these key elements are infused into all of our programs:
1) Curriculum that brings the classroom and the real world together
2) Harnessing the power of student self-awareness
3) Putting students at the center of the process
4) Using peer interaction to foster leadership development
5) The teacher as role model
Based on this philosophy, our programs offer hands-on, age-appropriate learning experiences for students from the 3rd grade through college, creating unique opportunities that encourage them to explore and develop their own personal leadership potential. We adhere to educational goals and standards that provide a learning progression for students to develop the essential skills set for success: self-awareness and self-efficacy; self-direction; effective communication; social and cross-cultural awareness and skills; and the capacity for critical and creative thinking. Our insistence on educational excellence creates real-world experiences that offer a lifetime advantage.
