Lindamood-Bell Academy Online–Education Wherever You Are

Jun 7, 2019
 
 

At Lindamood-Bell Academy, we provide an online education that’s right for your family. Our virtual instruction embodies Lindamood-Bell quality in all regards—our school is personal, flexible, and interactive.

 

One student, Noah, takes advantage of Academy to get what his mother calls “the best education of his life” while joining his parents on their global travels.

 

She says, “I believe that LBA offers great value.  For the first time in Noah’s history of schooling, I feel that he is free to learn at his own pace, without judgment.  

 

The remote learning program is wonderful for our family. This week, Noah is studying from the Netherlands and Austria.  The fact that Academy is offered online allows our family to travel, while our son still receives a top-notch education.

 

The Lindamood-Bell Academy team is easily accessible; there is an open line of communication between teachers, staff, and parents. I feel very comfortable picking up the phone to communicate my thoughts, and my questions are always answered quickly and efficiently.”

 

Meet Noah!

 

 

A great solution for many students

✔ Learners Who Need A Flexible Environment

Lindamood-Bell Academy is located where each child needs to learn. Students can attend in person, online, or both. This works well for homeschool families, students who live far from a center, have health challenges, or who will be traveling or moving during the school year. Your child’s schooling will stay on track wherever the world takes them.

 

✔ Students With Challenging Schedules

Academy scheduling is flexible, and students move through the curriculum at their own pace. Students who have careers or other obligations that interfere with traditional school schedules will attend a school that works with their schedule. Breaks for travel, performances, and more are easily incorporated.

 

Lindamood-Bell Academy online offers a unique opportunity for students to thrive.

My Lindamood-Bell Academy Story

-from Cassie, Noah’s mom

 

In my eyes, the Academy just makes sense.  Always before, there was a disconnect between school curriculum and Lindamood-Bell techniques.  Now, in Academy, Lindamood-Bell techniques are used to help understand the academic curriculum. Noah has been able to see how to actually apply the strategies learned at Lindamood-Bell in his academic coursework.  Additionally, integrating Seeing Stars, Visualizing and Verbalizing, and On Cloud Nine into the school year, created a further connection between effective strategies and actual coursework.

 

Our family has been so thrilled with the one-on-one attention of LBA. Noah is supported as he journeys through his academic curriculum.  He is free to go at his own pace, without judgment. There is time to stop and review, and he is not forced to move on until he demonstrates mastery.  Additionally, the LBA team is easily accessible. There is an open line of communication between teachers, staff, and parents. I feel very comfortable picking up the phone to communicate my thoughts, and my questions are always answered quickly and efficiently.

 

We have been able to change and manipulate Noah’s daily work based on his specific needs.  For instance, this year, we decided that he was still weak in his writing, so we decided to implement writing and editing into his curriculum more often.

 

Overall, I believe that LBA offers great value.  Noah is receiving one-on-one instruction from his teachers, and he has a consultant that is carefully following his progress.  For the first time in Noah’s history of schooling, I feel that he is free to learn at his own pace, without judgment. I believe that he is in good hands when he is studying in the center, and the remote learning program is wonderful for our family.  This week, Noah is studying from the Netherlands and Austria. The fact that Academy is offered online allows our family to travel, while still receiving a top-notch education.

 

As a former educator, I know that Noah is receiving the best education of his life.

As we continue looking back at the milestones that have shaped Lindamood-Bell, we’re returning to where it all began.

📖 1986: Nanci Bell publishes Visualizing and Verbalizing®

The same year Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes was founded, co-founder Nanci Bell published Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking®, introducing an approach designed to develop concept imagery, the ability to create an imaged gestalt from language.

The program grew from Nanci’s work with students who could read words but struggled to understand, remember, and think critically about what they read.
Today, Visualizing and Verbalizing® remains central to our approach to developing language comprehension and higher-order thinking skills.

🎉 40 Years of Changing Lives Through Learning

This year marks a very special milestone for Lindamood-Bell: 40 years!

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be looking back at some of the milestones that have shaped our story. From our beginnings in 1986 to the work we do today, there is so much to celebrate.

And where better to begin than at the beginning?

📷 1986: Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes is founded.

Pat Lindamood and Nanci Bell co-founded Lindamood-Bell with a shared belief that all students can be taught to read to their potential. From the beginning, our approach was grounded in the understanding that reading is a sensory-cognitive process and that the underlying skills can be developed.

What began 40 years ago has grown into a journey we’re excited to revisit and share with you.
