The Academy of 21st Century Learning transforms lives by uniting the academic standards of reading, writing, math, science, foreign language, and study skills with creativity, leadership, art, and music.

By focusing these abilities through curriculum targeted to the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics, our students will become much more competitive when seeking higher educational opportunities and competing in the global marketplace.

Conveniently located in the Nut Tree Center in Vacaville, and serving the needs of students and families from locations throughout Solano and Yolo Counties (Fairfield, Winters, Woodland, Dixon, Suisun, and Davis). The Academy is a new place for learning! Our energetic instructors, many with degrees from UC Davis, provide expert and state-of-the-art, STEM-based tutoring. We are also proud to offer summer programs, counseling, SAT/ACT prep, home schooling assistance, and many other academic services to our students from Kindergarten through High School.

As our model, The Academy of 21st Century Learning uses a framework that is comprised of four key categories that will prepare students for the complex demands of the 21st century. These categories are described below.

Core Subjects and 21st Century Themes. Students work on core subjects, which include English language arts, mathematics, world languages, arts, economics, science, history, geography, and civics.

Learning and Innovation Skills. These are the skills necessary to be an effective member of the 21st century workforce. They include creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration.

Information, Media, and Technology. Our digital and media-rich world is constantly evolving. Students need to understand how to effectively utilize technology and media to contribute to society and collaborate in a constructive fashion.

Life and Career Skills. It is important for students to develop the following skills in order to be competitive in the workforce: flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self-direction, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability, leadership and responsibility. Together these competencies will provide students with knowledge and skills to maneuver and address the complex demands of the 21st century landscape.
