Our ATI Middle School students are doing a soft launch of their Montessori Cafe tomorrow morning! Feel free to drop by their table at arrival (8-9 am) for coffee and/or baked goods. They will be traveling to New York this Spring to participate in the Montessori Model United Nations conference and this cafe initiative is one way they’re raising their half of the money needed for travel.

Academy of Thought and Industry - Aldie

A new Montessori-inspired Middle School in Chantilly. Now enrolling for grades 6-8.

The ATI program was founded as a program designed to apply Montessori developmental and pedagogical principles to today's adolescents. Our programming is designed to connect students with the history of human thought and achievement, and to do so in a way that is personal and empowering. ATI blends the rigor of human arts and sciences with a creative, entrepreneurial spirit.

We're recognizing Juneteenth today! The holiday gives us the occasion to reflect on the profound contributions of enslaved Black Americans to the cause of human freedom.

✨Save The Date!✨
Next week, at the conclusion of each school year, we take a moment to acknowledge those students who are completing their “kindergarten” year of Children’s House and their 3rd and 6th years of elementary. These milestones correspond to the traditional Montessori divisions between programs (Children’s House to Lower Elementary, and Lower Elementary to Upper Elementary) and we want to take this opportunity to honor these children for the progress they have made. This year, we are thrilled to bring in our ATI Middle School graduates to our ceremony as well.

Please make sure all children arrive back at school, by no later than 6:15pm on June 15th. More information will be coming to you soon from your classroom teachers. We look forward to it!

The Elementary Play last week was a wonderful success! Our ATI students had a blast helping on the back-end with set design, costume and prop making, blocking, and choreography.
Great job to all the Elementary Actors and Actresses!

ATI Classroom Happenings:

Our middle schoolers took their Earth explorations even further! They studied how the different angles at which the sun's rays hit the Earth impacts how much its surface heats up. They also explored how the tilt of the Earth's axis impacts the temperatures on Earth. This uneven heating ultimately causes our seasons and by using a model, we can understand why this is.

Core Value: The Love of Work 🛠️

Purposeful work is central to a life well lived. In choosing our work, we direct our energies intentionally toward our goals, bring structure and focus to our lives, and reshape our worlds.

Through cultivating our capacity for work, as well as our appreciation of the rewards of work well done, we develop a character capable of genuine effort and great achievement. - ATI Core Value

The mission of ATI is to help our students reach their potential and live their fullest lives, empowering them through an education grounded in our core values. These values represent our vision for flourishing student development - what it means for an adolescent to reach their potential and live a full life.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under N**i persecution of many different groups and during more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. January 27 marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest N**i death camp, in 1945.

"The violence of exclusion began with disinformation and hate speech that lent support to systemic injustice, discrimination, and marginalization and ended with genocidal killing. The theme reminds us of our responsibility to respond with humanity to the victims of atrocity crimes, to counter hate speech, antisemitism, Holocaust distortion and denial, and prejudice – to do all we can to prevent genocide." - the UN Holocaust Memorial Ceremony.

This week in literature, ATI Chantilly students continued to read the novel Chains. Students looked at a historical event, “The Great Fire of 1776” and developed an understanding of the controversy of the American Revolution and Slavery and how that may have affected the main character, Isabel. Additionally, in History, students began to draft their summative history projects. Students are preparing a project of their choice to show what they have learned through this quarter.
.
In Science, we developed a model to show how an object might be lifted, fall, or remain suspended in the air depending on the relative strength of two different forces acting on it – gravity and updraft. We built a homemade barometer to record next week's air pressure, cloud cover and precipitation outside.

What happens in a typical week at the Academy of Thought and Industry? Here is a rundown of activities at ATI Chantilly’s Middle School:

📖 This week in Language, students continued to read the novel Chains. We learned about perspective and how there are many different perspectives that the story can take and discussed how Isabel’s perspective is different than the readers’ because we have more historical insight into what has happened in the past. Additionally, we worked on vocabulary terms to support our reading of the novel.

📜 This week in History, students wrapped up their mini-unit on the Constitution by analyzing the document's timeline and by drafting and creating their own personal Constitution. Parents can see these examples of student work in “Altitude,” our online workspace.

🌪️ We developed and used our “Gotta-Have-It” Checklist in Science to test and revise a thunderstorm simulation. We used these tools to consider how temperature, humidity, and other conditions produce larger and smaller storms. We also tried to lift or suspend different objects with air blown upward, and we recorded the weight of different objects and the amount of force registered when air is blown toward or away from a digital scale.

🧮 In math, some students have started working with decimal operations and reasoning about two different strategies for dividing fractions. Others have started comparing fractions, decimals, and percentages to solve equations.

ATI Virtual School High School students have been hard at work during Career Weeks, learning what it means to work as a play director, run a top restaurant in Chicago, teach online, use rendering software to design housing units and so much more! Here is a sneak peek from some of their experiences!

As we begin the new year at ATI, we challenge our student body to refine their thoughts, cultivate good habits, and enhance their personalities. Here are some great ideas from our Head of School at ATI Hollywood Beach:

Take time to improve yourself by improving your performance in both academics and personal goals.

Stop procrastinating. This is one of the most challenging habits to avoid. If we start completing all our tasks on time, we can improve everything we do!

Learn a new language. This year, learn a new language (and culture) and see your world open up.

Be kind to everyone: There is no better habit than loving others.

Online Class - Scientific Inaccuracies of Hollywood - Starts January 16!

ATI Guide: Jeremy Beach

In this science elective, those types of questions will be asked, analyzed and discussed. Scientific inaccuracies in Hollywood movies have been around since the dawn of movies; sometimes intentionally to add dramatic effect and sometimes unintentionally. We will watch movies like: Jurassic Park, The Day After Tomorrow, Star Wars, and others to question the scientific possibilities in the movies. Is it conceivable to bring dinosaurs back from extinction? Can climate change cause an ice age? Is it viable to build a lightsaber?

These questions and more will be considered in this fun and engaging scientific adventure. You will learn about science in this class, but you will also gain valuable life skills like: thinking critically and creatively, articulating an argument based on research and the ability to critique fallacies.

Cost (for non-ATI students): $375 per quarter-long course (10 weeks).

Includes two synchronous sessions per week, individual feedback, assignments, and resources!

This week at ATI Chantilly, Language Arts students began reading the book "Chains" by Laurie Halse Anderson. Students identified the meaning or the purpose of a primary source that was written in the novel. In History, students continued to look at the American Revolutionary war by starting to form their own timeline of the American Revolutionary War.

In science, we reviewed what we now know about how air particles act and revised our initial consensus model, which led us to learn more about what makes up the air. We then conducted an investigation to determine where the water in the air comes from by measuring the humidity in the air over samples of different Earth surfaces.

In math, students participated in a practice day to get their mathematic minds back in gear, then started working on the second half of their current math unit.
