Redtail Academy will will be located at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana Champaign (309 W. Green Street, Urbana).
What Will the Hours of the School Day Be?
Approximately 8:30 am - 3:30 pm, with some before and after school care.
What is Redtail Academy's Stance on Technology?
In the Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt talks about the pitfalls of screens in all forms for our students.
We support the Wait until 8th pledge, which states that we encourage families to wait until the end of 8th grade to get their child a portable smart device.
When the school opens, we will have space for students to store their smart watches and phones during the school day.
We will use technology for academic purposes as needed, but will rely on paper-pencil methods as much as we can, in order to increase engagement.
Internet and screen usage will be limited.
