    🌎 Discovery Studio

    Third to Fifth Grade

    Our Upper Elementary learners (3rd-5th grade) are preparing to thrive in the world that lies ahead: to think critically, solve problems, and adapt to changes. They will know what they are passionate about, what they are good at, and how they can combine those things to change the world.

  • The main goal of this studio for Eagles to explore, create and build themselves.

    In a safe environment and through a self learning process, Eagles understand the relationship between freedom and responsibility, discover their hero’s journey, develop long lasting friendships, and participate in a hardworking community with a culture of inquiry.

  • In this studio, Eagles start the process of self governance by creating and upholding a covenant and rules of engagement. 

    SELF-PACED CORE SKILLS

    We focus on developing a love for reading, writing in a variety of genres, and using adaptive technology for mathematics, reading comprehension, phonics and spelling. Each Eagle sets his or her own goals on Monday and organizes his or her time throughout the week to reach those goals. The more responsbility an Eagle takes, the more freedom and privileges they earn - just like in real life.

    REAL-WORLD PROJECTS

    Our Eagles learn to DO - we create fun, engaging and challenging Quests, during which they explore, collaborate and create in hands-on, real-world projects. These real-world quests, in the sciences, history, technology, architecture, entrepreneurship and others, allow Eagles to notice which disciplines call their attention as potential careers in future.

    SOCRATIC DISCUSSIONS

    We believe that asking great questions is more powerful than simply memorizing facts. In our Socratic discussions, we consider moral dilemmas, historical decisions and issues that arise in the day-to-day life of our studios. Our Eagles learn HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

    JOY + RIGOR = MASTERY

    Embracing rigor is part of saying β€˜yes’ to a Hero’s Journey. Deep learning brings a special sense of joy, but the mastery required for a Hero’s Journey goes even further, requiring commitment, discipline and hard work towards a worthy goal.
