      <image:title>Learning Design - Core Academic Skills.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Learn to know. Our learners master the foundations of reading, writing, and math during daily "Core Skills" time. Students work with a guide to differentiate their core curriculum and progress at their own pace utilizing a blend of hands-on and online learning tools. They showcase their mastery by meeting their goals, earning badges, assembling portfolios and taking part in public exhibitions of their work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Learning Design - Quests &amp; Projects.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Learn to do. We believe children learn best by doing. Whether it's launching a startup business, painting a mosaic, or programming a robot, Beacon Academy students build real-life skills every day. Our learners investigate, participate, and contribute to the world around them by taking on meaningful, hands-on projects. Projects are grouped together into themed “Quests” over the course of several weeks. The culminating event of these Quests are public exhibitions where children present what they have learned.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Learning Design - Socratic Discussions.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Learn to learn. Each day, learners cultivate critical thinking and decision making skills through Socratic discussions, or “launches,” based on thought-provoking questions. During these discussions they are asked to look at situations from various perspectives, to take a stand on complex issues, and to present their point of view. Among supportive and engaged peers, our children understand the importance of asking good questions, taking risks, and remaining curious about the world around them. Most importantly, they learn to look at situations from another’s perspective, and that friends do not need to agree on everything.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Learning Design - Servant Leadership.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Learn to be. Since learners are given guided responsibility to manage and maintain their studio community, they build the social, emotional, and leadership skills needed to make a difference in the world—whether it's submitting a proposal to the group at a “Town Hall Meeting”, leading a studio maintenance team, or holding each other accountable for excellent work. Students are constantly serving each other, and becoming productive and kind citizens in their studios, community, and the world.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Mindset - Our Mindset</image:title>
      <image:caption>With the family and whole child in mind, we are pulling from what experts in education, innovation, and child development say prepares children for success: personalized learning, nurturing curiosity, allowing risk-taking, and encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving. Why is the mindset of our parents so important? We are taking a fresh new approach to education, so for many of us, that means stepping away from our own traditional school experience, and changing our mindset about what school “should” look like.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Discovery Studio - Elementary - Learn to Learn</image:title>
      <image:caption>Learn, Practice, Reflect, Try Again, Mastery We focus on the learning process, which allows learners to go much farther in the long run because they’ve developed the skills necessary to learn and master anything they set their minds to.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Discovery Studio - Elementary - Learn to Do</image:title>
      <image:caption>People become experts by DOING things—not by hearing about things. Beacon learners become experts in coding, robotics, zoology, entrepreneurship, and much more—because they DO multiple projects in those areas throughout the elementary program.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Discovery Studio - Elementary - Learn to Be</image:title>
      <image:caption>The secret sauce to a learner-driven elementary school: Every child wants to be a hero, so we double down on the heroic. “What would a hero do in this situation? Do heroes make mistakes? Would a hero give up? Would a hero sacrifice to help his friend? Would a hero sacrifice to help a stranger?” When the going gets tough, and a young person sees themself as a hero, it’s easier for them to make the hard, right choice.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Discovery Studio - Elementary - Learn to Know</image:title>
      <image:caption>Beacon students use Montessori materials and adaptive learning programs to master core skills in reading, writing, and math. We give them a roadmap of skills, and they learn to navigate freedom and responsibility in a supportive studio community.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Middle School learners govern themselves on an individual and collective level.

      <image:caption>Middle school-aged learners want to do work that is relevant to them.

      <image:title>Journey Studio - Middle School - Apprenticeships</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once or twice a year, middle school learners set up apprenticeships with local businesses to try out different fields they are interested in. The goal is to gain exposure and experience in REAL professions so that in high school they have a clear path to their “Next Great Adventure.”</image:caption>
