ELEMENTARY
(8 - 12 YEARS)
Discovery Studio is like a close-knit neighborhood where learners tackle important work, solve problems, collaborate with peers, and engage in increasingly challenging games.
Discovery builds the foundation of learning through personalized core skills development, exploratory quest projects, and play. Learners explore the arts, sciences, history, and the natural world through self-paced, mastery-based projects using adaptive technology.
Quests require teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity. Meanwhile, plenty of free time and competitive games bind the community together and build problem-solving and collaboration.
