For ages 5-7
In Spark Studio, even our youngest learners take real responsibility for their work and their community. Inspired by Montessori principles, young people choose their work, complete cycles independently, and care for their environment while building strong foundations in reading, writing, and math.
Purposeful play and hands-on materials support the development of focus, self-regulation, and confidence. Within clear studio guardrails, learners experience real freedom to choose meaningful work and real responsibility to complete it. Each day, they practice habits that shape their journey: beginning work with courage, finishing what they start, and contributing to a tightly bound tribe.
By the end of Spark, learners step into the next studio with growing independence, deeper self-direction, and the confidence to own their learning.
For ages 7-11
In Explorer Studio, learners take increasing responsibility for governing themselves. They set goals, manage their time, track progress, and take responsibility for their work and their role within the tribe.
Through Socratic discussions, collaborative Quests, and rigorous core skills practice, learners strengthen reading, writing, math, and Civilization while learning to make courageous choices and grow through failure.
A strong tribe inspires and challenges each hero to move beyond “what I want right now” toward longer-range goals, shared commitments, and meaningful contribution.
By the end of Explorer, young people are increasingly self-directed, resilient, and prepared to step into greater leadership and responsibility.
For ages 11-14
In Makers Studio, young heroes take full responsibility for their work, their tribe, and their future. Middle school learners tackle increasingly complex challenges, communicate clearly and persuasively, and pursue meaningful work that prepares them for real-world contribution.
Through rigorous core skills practice, deep Quests, Socratic discussions, and public Exhibitions, learners refine reading, writing, math, and critical thinking while developing resilience, courage, and self-governance.
Failure is expected. Accountability is real. Standards are high.
Apprenticeships and leadership opportunities connect studio work to the world beyond campus.
By the end of Makers Studio, young people are prepared not just for high school coursework, but for a Next Great Adventure.
Opening Fall 2026
For ages 15-18
Launchpad is where learners step fully into responsibility for their future. Whether pursuing a selective college, launching a venture, or entering the workforce, each hero designs a path aligned with their strengths, convictions, and calling.
Through advanced coursework, deep apprenticeships, and public exhibitions of work, learners refine communication, critical thinking, and technical skill while governing themselves within a tribe that holds high standards.
Launchpad is not about checking boxes. It is about clarity, courage, and commitment.
