A hands-on project-based learning experience where learners build something, solve real challenges, collaborate, and present their work publicly.
A progress roadmap showing what a learner is currently working toward and the skills needed to move to the next level/studio.
Reading, writing, math, and foundational academics — done through self-paced work rather than lectures.
The visual tool learners use to track progress through badges, core skills, and personal goals.
A student-chosen project they work on individually based on their interests (filmmaking, robotics, art, business, etc.).
A Socratic discussion and deep dive through history, literature, cultures, and big questions.
Independent reading time where learners choose books and build focus and comprehension.
What we call a classroom. A mixed-age environment driven by peers, not teachers.
A question-based conversation. There are no right answers. Learners think, debate, and reason.
Studio promises where learners agree to show effort, respect, kindness, and responsibility.
A peer accountability buddy — someone a learner checks in with about goals and habits.
A small group for collaboration, check-ins, challenges, and support.
End-of-session public showcase — learners present work, projects, businesses, or growth to parents.
The belief that every learner is on their own path, facing challenges, learning skills, and becoming their strongest self.
A clear accountability structure used to uphold culture and protect the studio. Strikes are issued when agreements are broken (ex: disrespect, disruption, unkindness, or unsafe actions).
The earned levels of independence based on responsibility, work quality, and character.
The opening meeting or prompt that kicks off the day — usually a Socratic question.
A sustained block of focused work time without interruptions.
Eagles are what we call our students, named after the bird that soars independently.
A coach/facilitator — not a traditional teacher. Guides ask questions more than they give answers.

When they complete their badge plan and demonstrate readiness through work quality, habits, and character.
Yes — but it’s choice-based, self-paced, and mastery-driven instead of lecture-driven.
Through natural consequences, accountability systems, peer feedback, and the Strike System when agreements are broken.
Spark: 4–7 • Elementary: 8–11 • Middle School: 12–15 • Launchpad: 16–18
Learners progress at their pace with support and accountability. There is no “behind,” but there are expectations for effort, growth, and meaningful work.
They can move ahead as fast as they’re ready — no ceiling on learning.
Badges, exhibitions, mastery checkpoints, portfolios, work quality, character growth, goal-setting.
Parents attend exhibitions and journey meetings, and can see their child's progress throughout the year.
Not casually. Learners deserve trust, not an audience. Parents visit during tours and exhibitions, with short, intentional studio viewing windows.
