Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Project Learn different from other programs?
Project Learn offers the best of both worlds: the structure of a traditional classroom setting paired with the flexibility and creativity of project-based learning. With a dedicated instructor for each grade level, our students benefit from consistency, personalized attention, and a rich academic experience. We foster a close-knit learning community where families feel supported, students are known and valued, and learning is designed to be meaningful, not rushed. Our focus is not only on academic mastery but also on character, collaboration, and curiosity.
What curriculum and classes do you offer?
We serve TK–12th grade students with a well-rounded academic program. Our instructors primarily use BookShark, a literature-based curriculum that fosters deep reading and discussion. However, we trust our teachers as professionals to thoughtfully curate additional resources tailored to their specific class needs. Our core classes include history, science, language arts, and math, with hands-on projects woven into instruction whenever possible. We also offer elective opportunities, field trips, and enrichment activities throughout the year that round out the educational experience.
What are your class sizes and teacher-student ratios?
Our typical class size averages around 20 students per instructor, allowing for individualized instruction, strong teacher-student relationships, and a focused classroom environment. This ratio supports both academic achievement and meaningful community building within each classroom.
What days, times, and grade levels are offered?
We currently offer two weekly program options:
- Tuesday/Thursday from 10-3 for TK–8th grade
- Monday/Wednesday from 10-3 for TK–12th grade
Each program runs two days per week and is held at our central Bakersfield location. Our program hours are structured to provide consistency, engagement, and academic depth while still leaving room for at-home learning and family flexibility.
How do you incorporate project-based learning (PBL)?
While we maintain a traditional academic structure with clearly defined subjects and classroom instruction, project-based learning is embedded into our approach wherever possible. Our instructors design units and experiences that allow students to apply what they’re learning to real-world contexts—such as researching and presenting historical events, conducting science experiments, or engaging in meaningful writing and presentations. We believe children learn best by doing, and PBL provides opportunities for critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity that complement and deepen our academic goals.
