Dr. John B. Chittick, Harvard University, Ed.D., Ed.M., MIT, M.Sc., Dartmouth, B.A.
A former Harvard lecturer, Dr. Chittick’s expertise working with young people of the world stretches over four decades at every learning level. Teaching is geared to each student’s abilities. Information will be easily understandable. The goal is to preserve cultural heritage; be proficient in English; master academic skills; prepare and secure scholarships for overseas colleges and exchange programs; and use the knowledge to help lead their island nation in the future. Students will learn during part of the day while doing their work for community and families. Dr. Chittick uses the Socratic Method.
Students take 14 subjects (plus one major individual project).
