A Day In The Life
Our monthly rhythm balances live mentoring, independent exploration, and real-world learning, ensuring screen time is purposeful and meaningful.
Mentorship & Goal Setting – Learners check in with their Running Partners (accountability buddies) and Guides to set personal learning milestones, refine their Badge Plans, and track progress.
Badge Plan Work & Independent Learning – Learners advance their self-designed studies at their own pace, whether it's coding an app, writing a novel, researching history, or building a business. They engage in projects, explore curated resources, and work toward earning micro-credentials.
Collaborative Feedback & Real-World Application – Throughout the month, learners share their work in peer critique circles, expert feedback sessions, and showcase events to refine their skills and deepen understanding.
Learning Beyond the Screen – Education isn’t limited to a laptop. Learners take field trips, complete apprenticeships, engage in hands-on projects, and even travel, applying their learning in meaningful ways.
This flexible, self-directed model ensures learners receive guidance, build real-world skills, and take ownership of their education—no matter where they are in the world.
Our School Year At A Glance
Our school year runs from early August to late May, structured into seven flexible learning sessions lasting three to six weeks, each followed by a one-week break to reflect and recharge.
During each session, learners advance their personalized Badge Plans, engage in Socratic discussions, real-world projects, and mentorship check-ins, and work toward earning micro-credentials that showcase their mastery.
At the end of each session, learners present their progress through Exhibitions, peer critiques, and expert feedback sessions, sharing their work with family, mentors, and industry professionals.
This structure ensures deep, meaningful learning, allowing students to explore diverse topics, gain real-world experience, and develop essential skills at their own pace. You can view our current calendar here.
