A School for the 21st Century

Socratic discussions and self-paced challenges equip children to be independent lifelong learners.

Hands-on project-based learning (Quests) for Science, Entrepreneurship, and the Arts prepare children for apprenticeships and real-world challenges.

The Hero's Journey, relational covenants, and real-world consequences transform difficult decisions into virtuous habits.
