Morningside Academy: elementary & middle school students meet and exceed academic grade level skills! Dr. Kent Johnson founded Morningside in Seattle in 1980.
Morningside has two programs: a non-profit school for children and youth, and a teachers' academy.

Morningside students make measurable academic gains. In just one school year, Cy made three years of academic growth in reading comprehension!
Discovery Learning or Direct Instruction? This "debate" is a false choice. Educators don't need to decide between discovery learning and teacher driven approaches. We can use explicit instruction and fluency building to engineer discovery learning for ALL students!
Check out former Morningside teacher Kaili Sandico brilliantly explaining why we don't have to choose sides, and how teacher-directed instruction provides students with the tools to successfully participate and learn from discovery learning.
Learn how to engineer discovery learning at the Morningside Summer Institute! We're only about a month away and spaces are limited, so register now (link in bio) for a professional development like none other!
