We all know that kids learn best by doing.
This is why Project-Based Learning is so popular in alternative education.
But what if the project doesn't resonate with the student? Then it becomes just another chore.
That's why we work individually with each student to select a project that sits in their unique 'Genius Zone': the magical place at the nexus of their unique Passions, Talents, and Values.
When a student works in their Genius Zone, they:
Love the project because it's something they're passionate about
Gain confidence because they're naturally good at it
Proud of the results, because they align with their values
