Archimedean Academy

Welcome to the Archimedean Academy

A Conservatory of Mathematics and the Greek Language.
A Miami-Dade County Public Elementary Charter School, established in 2002.

Why Mathematics

Why Mathematics?

We view Mathematics as both poetry of abstract elegant Ideas and as an important instrument to model Nature, Science, Technology, Engineering, Economics, and human behavior. The Conservatory of Mathematics approach provides students with the highest quality education. Its strength emanates from a deep sense of responsibility in helping the mind to grow and in the confidence in teaching the art of thinking through Mathematics and Greek language immersion.

Why Greek

Why Greek?

For centuries, the Greek language has been an important part of western civilization, with its deep connection to literature and scientific and humanistic vernacular. The teaching of the Greek Language in a partial immersion setting will bring to our students the benefit of bilingual education to the brain. Through the greek language, as a second language, the students are exposed to world-class education with elements of the Greek culture and traditions. We use a greek mathematical curriculum with an emphasis on mental arithmetic, a no-nonsense training in algebra, and a dedication to rigorous euclidean geometry, trigonometry, and finite combinatorics, as the content subject for greek language immersion. Thus the Greek language is also used as a “linguistic vehicle” to bring enhancement and fusion of the American Mathematics Curriculum with a deeper and narrow European curriculum.

Why Philosophy

Why Philosophy?

Our students learns how to express their ideas with passion and solid logic. Philosophy provides the balance of Humanities to that of Mathematics and Science. We will adopt and adapt the Philosophy For Children Method at the Academy, the Socratic method in our Middle Conservatory, and will immerse our students into Logic, Ethics, Political Philosophy, and Feminist Philosophy in our Upper Conservatory.

Our Philosophy

The educational philosophy of the Archimedean Academy is unique. It integrates immersion in Greek as a second language with a comprehensive mathematics curriculum. The mathematics curriculum combines traditional American mathematics: with an emphasis on problem-solving and critical thinking with the Greek curriculum: with an emphasis on number sense, rigorous mental arithmetic with undertones of algebra, and geometry.

Teachers design learning opportunities in the areas of English, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Greek Mathematics and Language. The school’s ultimate goal is to support all students to become productive contributors of the XXI Century by fostering in them the following skills:

Critical Thinking

Interpret/analyze data, reflect and find innovative solutions to opportunities and challenges;

Communication

Listens, speaks, presents, and writes with purpose and clarity in multiple languages;

Collaboration

Works well and contributes to the learning of others; values diverse perspectives;

Creativity

Thinks outside the box and promotes new ways of approaching opportunities and challenges;

Confidence

A life long learner that engages proactively and proactively with multiple audiences.
