24 NORTH BAY WOMAN | F A L L 2 0 1 7 Fusion Academy Marin: A Revolutionary Way to School Fusion Academy is a private middle and high school, but don't be quick to envision uniforms and lecture halls. At Fusion, classes are one-to-one: just one student and one teacher per classroom. This allows for personalization of curriculum for each individual student's strengths and learning style. This education model was born of frustration with the status quo, and out of a passionate belief in the power of positive relationships to unlock academic potential. The educational experience at Fusion is completely customized to ignite a student's passion for learning. Classes are self- paced, and course material is presented in ways that suit students' individual interests. It was modeled around the needs of students who weren't finding their place in traditional school environments - whether they struggled with mild learning differences, social issues, the rigid scheduling, or the boredom of a classroom not geared to accelerated learners. Along with personalized curriculum, Fusion's one-to-one teaching model also allows for the customized scheduling. Students may enroll at any time of the year, and take classes at a time of day that works best for them, which appeals to students who have demanding schedules outside of school because of sports or artistic involvement. Each campus includes a state-of-the-art recording studio and mixed-media art studio for students to express their creativity, and a Homework Café ® where students complete their homework before leaving for the day. Fusion also offers tutoring and mentoring services. From algebra to yoga and everything in between, Fusion offers over 250 middle and high school courses, all of which meet state standards. Creative expression is at the core of Fusion, as they understand the pivotal role it plays in students' well being. They offer a robust roster of elective classes like DJ Performing Arts, Graphic Design, Music Theory, Vocal Fundamentals, Recording Arts, Digital Photography, Film Studies, and more.
