Why Middle School

We know middle schoolers.

Narrative-Based Project Learning

To meet the unique needs of this consequential age, we focus on experiential, narrative-driven learning that engages students in the actual work of a profession.

Our curricular design, immersive classroom setup, and innovative teaching is all designed to engage students in exploration and self-discovery.
