Our student-centered community puts children at the center of their learning, allowing them to create and maintain personal goals and class contracts.
An environment filled with laughter and joy.
An environment conducive to critical thinking.
An environment that is designed for learning.
One that is free from politics and propaganda.
One that is free from bias and tyranny.
One that is free from any external influence that would negatively affect the individual’s journey of learning and how to think.
A home away from home where every learner smiles at the thought of coming in, exploring, doing, and being.
One that is safe.
There is a difference between education and schooling
Education prepares leaders to thrive in all aspects of life, not just to memorize and pass a test
Each Leader develops at different rates, instead of fitting into a “grade level” celebrating success along the journey will foster confidence and resilience
Aligning with young leaders natural interest promotes their love of learning and their pursuit of knowledge
That parents are the primary educators of the family unit
That good physical health is the precursor for good mental health
In individual responsibility and character
In the need for failure, not the fear of it
Leaders learn best through choice, play and autonomy
In sovereignty, not compliance
Collaborative work environment with mixed age classes, giving our leaders the ability to learn from peers on different levels of their educational journey
Self-paced learning environment designed to foster individual responsibility, goal-setting, and teamwork
Real life skills by launching a business, growing a garden, playing an instrument, painting a mosaic, learning survival skills or programming a robot
Coaches not teachers offer insightful questions and use the Socratic method to hone students’ critical thinking
Students lead and own their education; thinking independently, embracing challenges and growing their resilience
Socratic discussions that encourage civil discourse & effective communication
Holistic development focused on personal virtues such as honesty, hard work, individual responsibility, kindness and empathy
Incorporating physical fitness, not just outdoor play, as a part of every curriculum
Full family approach to education including apogee man and apogee woman programs (included with tuition) to empower growth for the entire family
LEAVE CONVEYOR BELT SCHOOLING BEHIND AND UNLOCK
Growth and Transformation
FOR THE YOUNG leaderS IN YOUR LIFE
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to
have tried to succeed.”
