The Basics
Bergman Academy is a preschool and K-8 elementary school accredited by the state of Iowa.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide children of all races, religions, and economic backgrounds an environment that nurtures total development while guiding them on the journey toward self-discipline and developing the joy of learning.
Our Philosophy
Our teaching philosophy views each child as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth. We utilize the best practices from Montessori, Multiple Intelligence Theory, and Individual Guided Learning methods to create a learning environment that is classically based, yet dynamic in nature.
Our Curriculum
Curriculum and instruction are responsive to individual differences in ability, development and learning styles. Differences are expected, accepted, and used to design curriculum. Throughout Bergman Acacdemy, academic mastery is valued, but more importantly students are nurtured toward becoming self-motivated, confident, young adults ready to become the leaders of tomorrow.
