LEARNING PROCESS

Our young leaders will work in a collaborative squad of multi-age learners. Our flexible approach challenges each child with their own differentiated learning plan and inspires them through real-world projects and experiences. Our Learner-Led Community puts the young leaders at the center of their learning, allowing them to create and achieve personal goals.

  • Obtain the core academic skills of reading, writing, and basic math using real world applications. With these skills, our young leaders will have the tools to move forward at their own pace and enhance these skills by going as far and as fast in these subjects as they wish.

  • Throughout the year, our young leaders will complete numerous hands-on projects that practice skills needed to solve real-world problems. Furthermore, they will gain powerful insight and experience through exposure to many different career paths along the way.

  • Our leaners hold daily Socratic discussions over a wide range of topics which promote strong critical thinking, communication, and speaking skills. Rather than telling young leaders what to think, we show them how to think.

  • Leadership in the community is a key focus on our campus. We don't just show our young leaders what it means to be educated, we also show them what it means to give back and how to use their education to help others in the community and around the world.

  • Every year our young leaders participate in our Business Bazaar. Each leader creates a product or service, then learns and participates in the steps involved to bring it to market.

  • Real physical health and education is a daily priority on our campus. Our younger squads practice tons of physical play and movement while our older squads start to learn and practice workouts of various kinds. All young leaders learn about their physiology and how to use it to their advantage.

  • Too many students leave school not having a clue about themselves or what they would like to do in this world. Younger squads explore different jobs and responsibilities on campus while older squads get to explore off-campus internships and apprenticeships with the possibility of earning paid positions.

  • Volunteers play a vital role in empowering individuals through enrichment classes focused on essential life skills. These dedicated instructors offer hands-on lessons in life skills such as cooking, gardening, and home management, fostering personal growth and self-sufficiency. Participants learn practical skills that enhance daily living while building confidence and community connections.
