What We Offer
An alternative approach to standard classroom learning.Learners get to explore exciting topics in a way that doesn’t feel like they are following a curriculum. We design science labs and language arts workshops to be engaging, interactive projects. LOFT gives students minimally structured time to turn these lessons into action. Students use this space to explore Essential Questions in any way their passion guides them.
Units culminate in presentations of learning in which the LOFT community of learners, teacher-coaches, and family members learn about and ponders these essential questions together.
Project-based learning in small groups has been shown to be an effective way of retaining information by relating new ideas to ones already mastered. The Loft believes that by creating a compassionate learning environment we can help kids find a love for Science, Technology, Writing, Art and Math that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Middle School Cohort
The Middle School Cohort is an engaging, project based, academic program designed to develop critical thinkers and learners while expanding social skills during these early teenage years.
