THE ELEMENTARY STUDIO
Eagles (typically ages 8-11)
The Elementary Studio provides the first environment where students work both independently on self-paced Core Skills acquisition and collaboratively on developing community covenants and participating in real world projects.  ​

​Socratic discussions, self-pacing, and growth mindset development equip students to be lifelong learners.

Hands-on learning through projects and challenges primes students for real world demands. 

​The Hero's Journey and community covenants transform difficult decisions into virtuous habits.

All studio schedules are similar in that the day is broken into independent work cycles, collaborative work or play cycles, free time, and community building activities.
