Workshop Way® Philosophy of Education​​
At St. Martin of Tours Academy, we embrace the Workshop Way® philosophy to enhance our educational approach. By adapting Diocesan and California State Curriculum and Standards, we ensure that each student’s personal and academic growth is nurtured throughout their learning journey. Our philosophy and goals are seamlessly integrated into our teaching methods and interactions, guiding every aspect of our educational environment.
​
Our classrooms are designed with clear objectives and structured activities, ensuring that every detail contributes to the learning process. We focus on providing challenges, fostering a love for lifelong learning, and employing differentiated instructional strategies to address the diverse needs of all students. Each student receives equal opportunities to learn and is encouraged to reach their full potential.
The Workshop Way®’s holistic approach emphasizes not just academic achievement but also the development of essential life skills. Our goal is to empower students with the ability to learn effectively, think critically, and manage their lives responsibly. We strive to instill a sense of dignity, confidence, and self-management in every student.

At St. Martin of Tours Academy, our commitment to the Workshop Way® philosophy ensures that students become successful, confident learners. This approach teaches students that making mistakes is a natural part of learning and does not reflect on their intelligence. Through this understanding, students develop self-awareness and a deeper connection with their own thought processes and growth.
​
Our approach thrives because we create a learning environment where students are motivated to engage fully. This supportive atmosphere helps students recognize their value, intelligence, and self-direction beyond just their academic knowledge.
​
Teachers play a crucial role in integrating feelings of importance, intelligence, and self-direction with academic skills. This integration fosters self-esteem, a respect for others, and a genuine love for learning. Explore how the Workshop Way® helps our students thrive both personally and academically.
