A day in our Studios is creativity within constraints: large blocks of time for work and play with clear but broad guardrails, equipping young people to manage their time, set goals, and track progress.
Daily Schedule
Each day is broken up into work sprints with a shared purpose or goal.
Goal setting, math, writers' workshop, reading, civilization discussion, “Brain Breaks” throughout
Hands-on work, team challenges, sciences, coding, entrepreneurship, art & music, history, goal reporting.
The schedule is flexible to accommodate different learning needs. Students can rearrange work blocks and choose from a variety of work options based on personal goals, passions, and commitments.
A Learner-Driven Community
Our young heroes learn in tightly bound communities with extremely high standards of excellence, where self-management and self-governance are celebrated daily.
Learners create and sign a Contract of Promises describing how each individual will act and the consequences for violating community norms.
Running Partners and Squads encourage younger and older heroes to listen, affirm, set goals and hold each other accountable.
Servant Leader badges celebrate warm-hearted and tough-minded decisions that build character.
