Welcome to the next chapter of CTL- bringing world class education to the globe through the development of a hybrid eco-system of online and in person education clubhouses.
CTL has a proven track record with 100% of its graduates accepted to top rate universities in the US. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the single school site is ready to branch out and engage the world.
Covid 19 proved that learning does not have to be geographically bound. Therefore CTL is launching its Global online academic secondary program (grades 6-12) to offer those not located in Abuja its fully accredited, project based, Advanced Placement aligned American education program. Students graduating from this program will be eligible to apply to universities around the world. As enrollment increases, in-person education clubhouses will open to accommodate the CTL scholars where they can go and co-learn and be part of a 3 dimensional community while connected via their virtual platform for the academic content.
Our Vision
The vision of CTL is to develop passionate scholars, global citizens and servant leaders who are equipped to be agents of positive change in their communities.
CTL School Mission
The Mission of CTL Academy is to create an inclusive environment that meets the needs of diverse learners; to harness the advances in science, technology, and the arts; to prepare students to be critical and creative thinkers, and problem solvers.
CTL Beliefs
CTL Believes that:
● Each child is a gift, and each child’s enrollment is an invaluable trust.
● Each member of our school community (from the Head of School to the cleaner) is a role model.
● Parents are critical partners in the development and success of each child.
● Character counts! Everywhere, all the time; we adopt the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship
Our school is a nature school held at Mission Bay in San Diego. Our beliefs and teaching styles reflect closely to Waldrof and Reggio Emilia. We believe in individualized learning and learning through experiencing the world around us. Our school uses the environment and ecosystem around us to teach students about their impact on the world. Our teachers are dedicated to providing academic support according to each child's personal needs. We have small ratios (1:5-8) and currently have only two classes (toddler and Pre-K/Kinder). We have the capability to add a third class with older students (1st-2nd grade) or another younger class.
Our school will be located on an urban farm. Our students will learn about animal handling, gardening, creating a sustainable living space, and expressing themselves through art. We have tons of space for hands on science experiments. Our teachers have degrees in Biology and biochemistry as well as over ten years of experience in art and music. Our goal is to develop a learning experience to build upon your child’s strengths and let them explore their interests. Our main teacher is credentialed and holds a Masters in Teaching. They will be creating curriculum and lesson plans to support the development of all the students in our class. We believe in cultivating grit, a positive self esteem, and a growth mindset in our students. Please contact me with your interest.
Since 2016 Chronos Academy has been creating education the hard way, from scratch. The founders of San Anselmo's new K-8 micro-school, Daniel and Celeste Ezell set out to create a curriculum in their lab school in the same fashion Elon Musk engineered an orbital rocket: from first principles. “We have this great timeline of history we wanted to give to our students… and a bunch of other subjects we know they need to succeed…” Was there a way to bring those together into a seamless whole? The inspiration they needed appeared on the bookshelf at an AirBNB weekend in Guerneville. Daniel flipped through the pages of The Timetables of History. “Everything is in here! Why not teach everything like this—in order.“
Each week, Chronos curriculum consists of lessons in each subject integrated to a time and place. These week-long lessons add up to a four-year tour through the history of humanity and our innovations over the past 10,000 years. “We’ve implemented the best of our neighboring pedagogues: narrative from Waldorf, individual concrete exploration from Montessori, unit studies from public classrooms, memory work from classical models—and focused on grit, curiosity and maturity as our motivation. We are helping to grow wonderful people,” Celeste beamed.
