About Mojave Academy
The purpose of Mojave Academy is:
- To provide a safe environment for children away from the ills of society,
- To apply L. Ron Hubbard's full array of educational technologies to educate children properly so that they can retain the data and apply their education to life.
- To create self-determined children who can decide and handle their life and become leaders in the new generation.
Overall, Mojave Academy produces happy, responsible and successful kids.
Our Philosophy
Mr. L. Ron Hubbard, educator and humanitarian, has given several lectures and written several articles on how education should be handled so that the children’s innate joy of learning is preserved and so that their self-determinism is not destroyed. This includes also L. Ron Hubbard’s very popular Study Technology that is used the world around.
Included in this philosophy is a way of guiding children in their studies so that they are learning with a purpose and aligning their studies with their goals in life. This gives children a reason for education, other than something that must be done because parents, teachers and the government have said it is so.
Another major point in our philosophy is not stressing education to the point of terrifying children. Education is generally an exciting adventure for children, until they have been forced to do things they don’t understand, made terrified with failing or getting bad grades and overall made into a puppet in our education system. Our students are worked with until they have regained their own willingness to learn, have decided for themselves what they want to do and why education will help them and therefore are moving on their studies because they want to, not because they are made to.
Activities
We have plenty of activities at our campus, such as building forts, playing basketball, skateboarding and cooking. The students also have plenty of opportunity to ride horses during the warm months, with our horseback riding program. We are a very active school and focus on doing a lot of outdoor activities.
During the year we go on various field trips, such as to a Snow Resort in the winter, the VLA (Very Large Array), wildlife refuge, the Pie Town Pie Festival, the Catwalk for swimming and hiking, Carlsbad Caverns, as well as the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and State Fair.
We teach various aspects of the Arts, including music, fine art and digital media design. The students can learn a lot of assorted crafts, woodworking, handiwork and construction skills.
