Education on
Your Terms
At Eureka School, administrative policies serve your child’s learning journey — not the other way around. Flexibility is our keynote. Education on your terms.
Our academic year follows traditional structures while accommodating the unique needs of each student and family. A course begins when a student starts to study and ends upon mastery of the material.

Our Approach
Administrative Principles
While we maintain the familiar structure of traditional schools, our policies are built to serve the student — not the other way around.
“A course begins when a student starts to study the material and it ends upon the completion of the required number of tested topics. Flexibility is the keynote.”
Mastery-Based Progress
Understanding always trumps speed. Students advance when they have truly mastered the material, with extensions granted when needed.
Family Partnership
Our policy is to accommodate the needs of the student and family. Education works best when school and home are aligned.
