OUR STORY

Addity is founded on proven practices of motivating learning in a structured manner. The current education system sadly does not challenge our kids appropriately and keep them interested in learning. If the work is too hard, children will give up because of stress. If it is too easy, children will give up because of boredom. Our program is designed to keep children in their individual optimal learning zone, the Lev Vygotsky "zone of proximal development."

The Addity model has been used in schools in other parts of the world with much success and we hope to bring it to our kids in Canada.
