The Russell Bede Instructional Method

Russell Bede’s method for success lies in its carefully crafted, six-point instructional model: Individual Instruction, Small Classes, Self Esteem, Positive Character, Parental Partnership and Additional Courses.

Individual Instruction

At Russell Bede, the emphasis is on adapting the instruction methods to the student’s needs.

Small Classes

Students currently benefit from a 6:1 student to teacher ratio.

Self-esteem Enhancement

Positive instructional approaches are used with no "put-downs." As students gain confidence and self-esteem, they take more risks and learning accelerates.

Positive Character Development

An emphasis on responsibility, fairness, honesty and consideration toward others fosters development of positive character traits.

Parental Partnership

A collaborative relationship and close communication between parents and staff ensures that learning become a family adventure.

Comprehensive Curriculum

We focus on developing the whole child. Additional classes in music, theater arts and physical education give children the opportunity to learn sportsmanship, teamwork, communication, presentation, poise, and self-confidence.
