Our Approach
Learners develop 21st century skills that focus on learning to learn, learning to do, and learning to be:
- Adaptive online, game-based and self-paced programs (such as Khan Academy) for core skills like math, reading comprehension, grammar, and spelling
- Twice-daily Socratic discussions to strengthen critical-thinking
- Hands-on, real-world projects that solve real problems
- Public exhibitions including a Children's Business Fair every 6 weeks
- Life-changing apprenticeships from age 12 to 18

Spark Studio (ages 4-7)
Spark Studio provides an authentic, Montessori-inspired environment that taps into the inherent love for learning, innate curiosity, and creativity within each learner.
Spark Studio lays the groundwork for reading, math, science, citizenship, and independent learning skills, preparing young individuals to excel in the Elementary Studio.
Discovery Studio (ages 8-12)
In the Discovery Studio Learners accept their calling of a hero’s journey and embark on an adventure of learning and self-discovery.
Through the mastery of foundational core skills, engaging introductory Socratic discussions, collaborative teamwork, and immersive real-world quests, our learners delve into the realms of arts, sciences, history, and the natural world.
Middle School & High School Studios
As our older learners reach age 12/13 and exit our Elementary studio, we will open the Middle School studio (age 12-14) and eventually the High School studio (age 14-18). By 2030, we will be a complete private school for children ages 4-18.
* Important: At any time, new families must enroll their children with us by the age of 12. Only in rare cases will we accept a new learner that is older than 12. *
