Welcome to Pear Tree Academy! We are thrilled to have your child join our learning community for an exciting and enriching school year. At Pear Tree Academy, we believe that education should be meaningful, memorable, and rooted in curiosity. Our program is centered around literature-based unit studies—which means we explore all core subjects through the lens of powerful, engaging stories.
Each book we study is carefully chosen to spark deep thinking, creativity, and connection across disciplines. From math and science to history, art, and writing, your child will dive into immersive learning experiences designed to foster critical thinking, independence, and joy in learning,
Sample Literature Selections: Some of our unit studies may be based on titles such as:
The Golden Goblet, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Bridge to Terabithia, The Golden Bull, Because of Winn-Dixie
Each unit typically runs 8–15 days and includes hands-on projects, cross-subject connections, and opportunities for creativity and discussion.
