The program at GYANDA Academy is tough, but the Academy's culture is also compassionate and supportive. Students form strong personal bonds with their teachers. The Academy's atmosphere is one of collaboration and shared effort in the quest of learning and growth. As educators acknowledge their students' particular needs and learning styles, extra aid outside of the classroom is an important part of the GYANDA culture. We think that students learn best when they have faith in their teachers' kindness and patience, and when the classroom is a safe sanctuary for all inquiries and ideas.
