How Do We Teach?
Most educators teach for memorization and regurgitation.
That is not the Matheus Way!

• Wisdom = knowledge + reasoning + character
• Confidence to believe in yourself but humility to respect what you don’t know

• Character Development Specialists guide students through moral & ethical development
• High standards: 90%+ passing grade

• Contract based rules of behavior to foster responsibility. (modified according to age)
-
• Students are assigned to different teams (Matheus Houses) to compete against each other for House Points
• Individual and House Points awarded based on academic excellence, model behavior, and real life accomplishments
• Winners are rewarded and recognized at the end-of-year ceremony

Matheus Academy is a non-religious organization. However, we believe In the following principles:
The Divine nature of the universe
We each have a special purpose and meaning behind our lives, and are given the talents and passion to help fulfill that purpose
Life is most rewarding when purpose, passion, and talent are in alignment
Parents and teachers have a responsibility to equip children with the knowledge, skills, and character to fulfill that Divine purpose
Imitation is the Sincerest
Form of Flattery!
The most important life lessons are taught by parents. Are you being purposeful in your parenting of your most important asset? Matheus Academy helps parents with tips, guides, models, and reports to make better parenting decisions. Let us be a part of your parenting team to guide your child to success.
Are We Educating for
the Future or the Past?
It is easy to assume that past models will continue to be successful in the future. But with AI, robotics, bio-tech, and big data trending, how relevant is a school model developed in the 1900’s to your child’s future needs?
Having the right education foundation will be even more affective to your child’s career, success, and happiness in the future. The Matheus Academy program was developed with the future in mind, enabling your child to navigate and thrive through the changing trends.
