Quests & Civic Experiences
Signature Experience
Learning Design
Our Pumas explore their interests, talents, purpose and the relationship between responsibility and freedom. Socratic discussions and self-paced challenges prepare them to be lifelong, independent learners. Hands-on, practical quests using science, technology, engineering, arts and math prepare them for real-world practices and challenges. The path to purpose, the rules of relationships, and real-world consequences transform difficult decisions into habits.
Learning Challenges
For Core Skills, learners:
move at their own pace using adaptive, game-based software for math and other hard skills,
choose which books to read and review, and
learn to speak, think, and write with game-based recipes for key communication skills.
In Quests, Civilization, Art, and Physical Development integrative, hands-on challenges supercharged by the Hero’s Journey narrative deliver real-world concepts and skills.
Learning to Be Badges offer practice with the collaborative skills learners need to self-manage and self-govern.
Socratic Discussions sharpen critical thinking skills and allow learners to add new tools and systems like Hero Bucks or Town Hall to strengthen the tribe.
