Traditional College Preparatory Education
Delivered Your Way
It used to be that students had to choose between academic excellence and an extracurricular passion. They had to choose between pursuing their sport, or art, or music to the highest levels or pursuing an academically ambitious education. The time commitments of training, practice, travel, competitions, exams, labs, and papers forced compromise and sacrifice. It just wasn’t possible to do everything well.
Today, however, students don’t have to choose between a rigorous college preparatory education or becoming a top athlete or a brilliant artist or a musical virtuoso. Today’s students can have it all.
That's where Signature One-to-One School has a role. Our team of exceptional educators supports today's students in their academic pursuits on their schedules and wherever they go. From our base in Wellington, Florida to locations far and wide, Signature educators are teaching, both in person and virtually. Thanks to the Internet and wide availability of virtual platforms, all students can take their teachers and tutors with them when they travel. In the same way, today's technology allows Signature to bring together the absolute best educators in all subjects, regardless of geography.
For families and students who value exceptional education and need flexible, focused schedules, Signature One-to-One School is an easy choice.

Students in one-to-one classes consistently learn more and outperform their peers in traditional classrooms. One-to-one students spend more time learning and develop more positive attitudes towards learning and school. Educational research consistently shows that one-to-one teaching increases students’ achievement by a factor of two standard deviations versus traditional classroom instruction. In real terms, two standard deviations means improvement in grades of about two levels - from a C to an A!

The positive impact of one-to-one teaching boosts summative achievement scores by TWO STANDARD DEVIATIONS vs conventional classroom teaching
Achievement distribution for students under conventional, mastery learning, and tutorial instruction
Conventional Classrooms (Ratio of 1 teacher to 30 students)
Baseline for comparison. Students took periodic tests on the material for grades.
Mastery Learning (Ratio of 1 teacher to 30 students) Students took periodic tests to evaluate their progress. If necessary, they received additional teaching and re-tested on the material until earning at least an 80%. Mastery learning strategies resulted in students performing 1 sigma above the average of the control class, e.g. a one grade increase from a B to an A.
Tutorial Teaching (ratio of 1 teacher to 1 student) resulted in the average student performing 2 sigma above the average of the control class, e.g. a two grade increase C to A. Significantly, the need for corrective work for tutorial students was very small.

When I read the teacher comments on my daughter’s first Signature One-to-One report card, I knew we had made the right decision. For the first time in as long as I can remember, my daughter’s teachers really know my kid! They know her as a student and as a person, and she has made so much progress in all her courses because of that.
