Capstone provides a 21st-Century learning environment using the latest in educational technology for self-paced mastery of Core Skills: reading, writing, elective courses, and math skills. Young learners work daily at their own pace and move on to the next level only after the content has been mastered, which ensures there are no learning gaps.
When it comes to learning, we believe in the power of balance and technology is embraced as a tool - never as a toy. Nicholas Kardaras, author of Glow Kids says it well:
“Digital vegetables can be a healthy use of screens (researching a term paper), while digital candy (Minecraft, Candy Crush) are hyperarousing and dopamine-activating digital stimulants without any ostensible 'health benefit'.”
Using incredible, self-paced eLearning platforms (digital vegetables! 🥕🥬🥦), the Capstone learning environment provides the rigor needed for learning math, vocabulary, spelling, and grammar, all in about 90-120 minutes each day! The remainder of the day is spent participating in engaging in hands-on, collaborative project-based learning.
The combination of these two learning day parts is highly complementary, effective, and absolutely necessary in equipping our young heroes for a world that is rapidly changing.
