Educational Advancement
Academy (EA2) was founded in 1999 when Ruth A.
Wilson, MA , and Robert C. Hauser pooled
their complementary backgrounds in education and business. EA2 implements
an effective one to one format to educate students in grades K-12.
Using a student-centered approach, learning programs are specifically
tailored to meet student needs. Students are individually instructed,
one teacher to one student, keeping instruction appropriate for each
student.
This method of customized instruction results in a high success
rate for our students. The process begins with a personalized needs
assessment and development of instructional goals. During each session,
the student works with the same teacher, who frequently serves as
a mentor as well as an instructor. We monitor and adjust as necessary
to maintain an appropriate instructional level throughout the program.
EA2 offers tutoring , academic
coaching , and instruction for credit .
Non-credit instruction can include tutoring or a self-contained
program for remedial or enrichment purposes. Academic coaching
is appropriate when the student needs support with organization
and study skills rather than a particular content area. EA2 can
coordinate with other schools while students work on building these
strategies. Each instructional program is different because each
student is different.
Students who enroll to earn academic
credit at EA2 have a variety of options. Some choose to attend
EA2 as full-time students at the middle and high school levels.
Others choose a dual-enrollment, splitting their day between EA2
for academic subjects and another school for electives, PE, and
high-interest subjects. Others will attend another school during
the day and schedule EA2 sessions after school to make up deficit
credits or to accelerate graduation. The EA2 staff has years of
experience building partnerships with local public and private
schools to help students achieve their goals. EA2's credit courses
are aligned with the Washington
State Essential Academic Learning Requirements , and are approved
by the State of Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction and accredited by the National College Association
of Athletes (NCAA) . EA2 can also provide a transcript review and
advise students about the appropriate courses to assure that coursework
moves students closer to completing graduation requirements. We
can even issue a high school diploma when all graduation requirements
have been met.
Students experience difficulties, frustration, and sometimes
failure in the traditional school environment for many reasons, including
large impersonal class sizes, illness, learning disabilities, learning
style differences, ADHD, and emotional difficulties such as depression
or anxiety. Criteria for admissions are
determined on a case-by-case basis. EA2's practice of personalizing
instruction facilitates student success.
EA2 has three convenient locations in Bellevue , Sammamish and Seattle and
a talented staff with a wide range of experiences and skills. We
invite you to call or visit for more specific information on how
EA2 can tailor instruction to meet your educational needs.
