THE PHILOSOPHY

GET INSPIRED

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to

have tried to succeed.”

–Theodore Roosevelt-

DAILY SCHEDULE

EDUCATION.

REIMAGINED.

At Apogee Reno, our young leaders learn in collaborative studios with multi-age learners. Our flexible approach challenges each young leader with their own differentiated learning plan and inspires them through real-world projects and experiences.

Our child-centered community puts young leaders at the center of their learning, allowing them to create and maintain personal goals and studio contracts.

SIX BUCKETS OF THE DAY

1. CORE ACADEMIC SKILLS

Master the foundations of reading,

writing, and math

2. HANDS ON PROJECTS

Master the skills needed to solve

real-world problems.

3. SOCRATIC DISCUSSIONS

Socratic discussions hone critical thinking and speaking abilities

4. OUTDOOR FREE PLAY

Free play is crucial for children's development as it fosters creativity, independence, and problem solving skills.

5. REAL PHYSICAL FITNESS

Real physical fitness, every day, to build strong bodies and strong minds.

6. JOBS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

On campus for our younger leaders and the option for off campus internships and apprenticeships for our older leaders.

“The primary goal of real education is not to deliver facts but to guide students to the truths that will allow them to take responsibility for their lives.”

-John Taylor Gatto

HOW IS APOGEE RENO DIFFERENT?

Self-paced learning environment designed to foster responsibility, goal-setting, and teamwork

Real life skills by launching a business, playing an instrument, painting a mosaic, or programming a robot

Coaches not teachers offer insightful questions and use the Socratic method to hone childrens' critical thinking

Children Lead and own their education; thinking independently, taking responsibility and embracing challenges

Holistic development focused on personal virtues such as honesty, hard work, responsibility, kindness and empathy

Learning fairs and goal setting/tracking instead of grades and tests to showcase learning.
