WE Believe in real-life, experiential learning
Teaching Boys the way Boys Learn
We are reinventing education, one student at a time.
The time has come to revolutionize the way we teach. The world has changed dramatically, and it is time for schools to adapt. We believe that a large number of boys are not being effectively educated and we plan to make a difference in the following ways:

Personalized Learning
A combination of direct instruction and adaptive technology allows flexibility in the learning process with the understanding that a “one size fits all” approach does not work for everyone. Technology allows students to go at their own natural pace and master each lesson, while direct teaching ensures that students are in an active environment, learning specific concepts.

Experiential Learning
Boys are more engaged with real world experiences. Hands-on activities give lessons context and meaning, resulting in deeper understanding, which increases the likelihood of concepts moving into long-term memory.
Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand. – Chinese proverb

Socratic Teaching
Fosters critical thinking, self-confidence, language development and allows students to look for solutions through healthy, constructive debate. It is about giving students questions, not answers.

Character
Our 5R Character philosophy focuses on developing boys who are Resilient, Respectful, Responsible, Relentless and Resourceful. Our emphasis on Community Service cultivates compassion, understanding, tolerance and leadership.

Mentorship
Strong role models are key to the mental, social, physical and emotional development of young boys. Personal connections between students and teachers can transform a boy’s approach to learning as they feel heard and understood. Through being mentored themselves, our older boys act as role models and mentors for our younger students.

Physical Activity
Our expanded physical-education program recognizes the importance of physical fitness and a multi-sport mindset. Increased physical activity enhances classroom learning and a healthy lifestyle.

Outdoor Education
Experience in the outdoors fosters courage, self reliance, cooperation and resilience. As students’ mature, risk and achievement are necessities in forming their identity and confidence. Taking on challenges and overcoming adversity strengthens character.

Academies
Our Academies are designed to focus on students’ passions to enhance areas of learning and development.
