3 Ways Learning is different here

Child Centered, Learner Driven

We empower children to be in charge of their own learning. Learners set daily SMART goals, manage their time, and work at their own pace on core subjects with the help of running partners. Our learning is authentic, not focused on passing tests or memorizing facts.

Focused on the Real World

We believe in learning by doing, including hands on projects in science, art, design and technology. Quests immerse learners in launching start-up businesses, playing an instrument, programming a robot, experiencing an apprenticeship in the community, and much more.

Guided, Not Taught

Learning in our studios reflects the unique interests, passions and talents of each child. Guides inspire, equip and support growing strong character through small groups, Socratic discussion, and exploration. Within out tribe, supported by caring peers and adults, children are empowered to learn and grow.
