Young Tycoons Academy of Tarlac, Philippines is a Hybrid and modern Montessori school focused on preparing students to live and lead a meaningful entrepreneurial life that promotes the total development of children, including toddlers, pre-school age children, and elementary children. While most public schooling programs follow the same style of teaching and trust in the same learning theories, YTA introduces this hybrid and modernly immersed styles and methodology for schooling which focus not just Montessori but also on mixed different styles of provenly effective teaching and learning in the Philippine set-up. These programs focus on children’s social lives, hands-on or self-determined learning, the effects of a variety of experiences, and communities of learning, among other things. YTA uniquely embody the three alternative teaching philosophies of Maria Montessori, Steiner/Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia.   Our uniquely modern and hybrid YTA Montessori style of teaching – a child-centered educational approach highlights deep respect for children as unique individuals and the belief that each child was born with innate potential. Every material, activity and classroom are designed to help children follow their own passions at their own pace. They work independently and in groups. Depending on your child’s age, he or she will benefit from individualized lessons, engaging Montessori, DEP-Ed and financial education curriculums, social and emotional development, art and character enrichment, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math).  YTA integrate arts into most of our academic activities from preschool to elementary to enrich and enhance the learning experience and develop a lifelong love of learning. YTA will never stop improving and we will metamorphose as we step forward to adopt and fortify effective learning approaches for the new generation. As a community-nested neighborhood hybrid Montessori school, we aim to be an incubator for integrating sustainability through community development, unified arts and student enterprises in a nature-inspired setting. We believe each child to be uniquely gifted, possessing a special potential. Our focus is to “educate the human potential” by aiding the child’s own innate drive to develop himself/herself. Children need an environment prepared to meet the interests and needs specific to their plane of development. Development is best aided through freedom to be active, to discover through exploration, and to communicate creatively. The adult must be both observer and a supportive link, removing obstacles and connecting every individual with experiences to challenge that child’s potential. YTA Montessori is more than an educational system or curriculum – it is a way of life. It encompasses an approach to the child based on attitudes of respect and appreciation for the uniqueness of each person. As such, it reflects continual observation, evaluation, and growth. YTA believes that frequent and sustained interaction among parents and staff are critical to provide the most positive environment for the child’s growth. By cultivating independence and life skills to help children thrive in all developmental areas through well-rounded programs, we lay the foundation not only for school success, but success for life. The Young Tycoons Academy of Tarlac emphasizes “cosmic education”, leading to a growing awareness of the inter-relatedness of all things. Such an approach allows every individual to become aware of the effects of his/her behavior. This view engenders an appreciation for all life and encourages within every individual a willingness to play a contributing role in our world.   YTA Schools and classrooms are filled with natural materials, plants, and windows as well as photographs, mirrors, and artwork, so each child is enriched by their surroundings as they learn.
