Exceptional Education Outreach Bahamas
EEO Bahamas 2013-2014 school year

EEO believes that every child deserves the chance to reach his /her personal potential. We strive to build their self-esteem and help children feel motivated to learn. We create opportunities for success with individualized instruction and small group activities. Through multi-sensory, innovative strategies and positive learning experiences, EEO creates a safe environment where they are aware of personal goals and are challenged to improve. Learning can be fun and we incorporate games, music and movement to inspire the students.

 

Educators and learning theorists agree that when students take ownership of their personal educational goals, their success rates increase. Academic success translates into improved confidence, positive behaviour, and a greater thirst for learning-qualities that will enhance a student's life beyond his school years.

 

EEO also sees the importance in educating the parents and caregivers. Our visiting therapists and seminar presenters involve and train the parents of the students they work with. Furthermore, EEO holds parent workshops, afterschool sessions and provides tools for continued at-home support.

 

EEO has seen meaningful changes in our student's motivation and their success in reading. We believe this impact creates positive changes in their communities. 


We are very  grateful for your support and care .
