This allows for strong teacher-student relationships and highly individualized instruction for our students, while keeping a peaceful, structured environment. Relationship Matters: Relationships are a key aspect of being human. Regardless of stage of life or occupation, the ability to form and maintain strong and healthy relationships will always be vital to being successful and living a good life. Developing Relational Maturity: Students at Prodigy, because of our small class sizes and emphasis on forming relationships through biblical values from an early age, our students develop high levels of relational maturity. As stated in the previous point, this is one of the most vital tools throughout all of life as it improves nearly every aspect.
