Innovation Studios Middle School Program
As we continue to improve our middle school experience, we recognize the need to meet the needs of several of our learners on a deeper level. We have assembled a team to work with a group of learners who are ready to be challenged and to guide them into achieving a level of deep engagement, independence and ownership of their learning. With facilitator connection, clear expectations, accountability and exciting projects that will inspire and challenge our learners, we believe this pilot program will immensely benefit your learner.

Sometimes when a learner says they want more work, what they are really saying is that they want more engagement and challenge. Some see a lack focus or disinterest as a need to make a learner “buckle down.” We see a learner who is not connected to their passion and curiosity in a deep, relative way.
