Summary: Every student at Cardigan is entered into the trademarked Cardigan PEAKS program. PEAKS stands for Personalized Education for the Acquisition of Knowledge & Skills. Guided self-development is the cornerstone of the class, and its focus lies in helping each student, no matter his skill level, become a better learner and self advocate. In this course, students are introduced to different types of learning styles and a variety of study skills. After identifying their own learning style(s), students explore and practice effective study strategies for each type of learner. Upon completion of the course, students are fully cognizant of what type of learner they are, able to describe their learning style, and able to both explain and execute relevant strategies that will be effective in their future educational pursuits.
