Understanding mathematical concepts is essential to children’s success in school.

This allows every student to go at their own individual pace - an opportunity that children don’t have during regular school hours. If an Interim Assessment determines that a student has not retained certain concepts, they will then go over these knowledge areas until they have graspect them fully. Interim Assessments ensure that students have retained the skills that they learned from the previous month’s curriculum and help keep parents alert to their child’s progress. Your child will then be given an Interim Assessment every four or five weeks. Every PALS curriculum features step-by-step, scaffolded learning focused on conceptual understanding. Our PALS-trained teaching staff will then craft a personalized curriculum for your child based on their knowledge level and learning gaps. The goal of the Initial Assessment is to provide the Palm Academy PALS director and instructors with an accurate overview of your child’s academic strengths, weakness, and areas for improvement. Your child’s Initial Assessment takes place when they first enter the program or when they advance to the next grade level. PALS ENRICHMENT PROGRAM INITIAL ASSESSMENT
