noun: the highest point in the development of something; a climax or culmination
Physiology First
Physiology and fitness are at the heart of our program. We believe that kids need to understand how their bodies function before moving onto optimizing them. Our education includes daily physiology lessons followed by movement and fitness.
Project Based
Real world skills are developed through project-based and experiential learning. Each 5-6 week sprint has a unique project that culminates in a capstone presentation to Apogee parents and the community.
Self Paced Academics
Apogee Leaders set, track and achieve individualized Academic goals with the support of coaches. In addition, learners get to identify the technology and systems they use to learn - from interactive online learning platforms to classic books - they decide.
Socratic Discussion
At Apogee Bend, we have Socratic discussions daily. Our little leaders participate in and guide Socratic discussions - fostering an environment of debate, conflict resolution and learning through disagreement and understanding.
Free Play
Kids need play. Our leaders will be free to move their bodies throughout the day and encouraged to do so during multiple "free play" periods. Imagination and play is critical to learning and we will encourage it, often.
Jobs & Community
Our learners build the campus from day one. They'll identify everything -from a values system to a mascot. Leaders at our campus will outline jobs, perform them daily and even get rewarded for their hard work, with a monetary system they create.
