About Foursquare Academy
A comprehensive learning program designed to develop confident, collaborative learners through interdisciplinary education and evidence-based teaching methodologies.
Program Overview
Foursquare Academy is a 12-week intensive learning program designed for students who want to build academic confidence, master core concepts, and develop essential 21st-century skills. Our curriculum integrates mathematics with real-world applications, emphasizing collaborative problem-solving and interdisciplinary thinking.
Each day includes:
- Interactive worksheets connecting math to practical scenarios
- Daily problem-solving aligned with spaced repetition principles
- Opportunities for peer collaboration and communication
- Structured feedback and progress tracking
Why Interdisciplinary Learning?
Research consistently shows that students learn more deeply when they understand how knowledge connects across disciplines. By integrating mathematics with science, history, economics, and other fields, we help students see the relevance of their learning and develop stronger conceptual understanding.
Interdisciplinary approaches promote:
- Deeper Understanding: Connecting concepts across domains creates stronger neural pathways and long-term retention
- Critical Thinking: Students learn to analyze problems from multiple perspectives
- Motivation: Real-world applications make learning more relevant and engaging

Building Collaboration & Communication Skills
In an increasingly interconnected world, the ability to collaborate effectively and communicate clearly is as important as subject matter expertise. Foursquare Academy intentionally structures learning experiences that develop these critical skills from day one.
Our collaborative approach supports:
- Peer Learning: Students learn from each other through discussion and shared problem-solving
- Communication Skills: Regular opportunities to explain thinking, give feedback, and present ideas
- Social-Emotional Development: Building confidence, empathy, and respectful relationships

The Science of Spaced Repetition
One of the most robust findings in learning science is the spacing effect: information encountered multiple times over spaced intervals is retained far better than information studied in massed sessions. Foursquare Academy's daily worksheet structure is deliberately designed around this principle.
Our implementation includes:
- Daily Practice: Regular, short problem sets that revisit core concepts
- Progressive Difficulty: Building complexity over the 12-week program
- Interleaved Learning: Mixing different problem types to strengthen discrimination and transfer
- Retrieval Practice: Frequent low-stakes quizzing to strengthen memory and transfer
