Innovate Academy collaborates to combine on campus, remote, and service-to-community learning.
As such, we spend four days on campus (Mondays — Thursdays) teaching our K-8th grade scholars from 8:30 a.m. — 3:30 p.m. We provide a full five-day curriculum and a user-friendly learning.
Finally, we have service-learning opportunities each trimester, as we engage with local and global community partners. These become bi-monthly service projects that involve families. Please check out our events page to see what we are up to!
Schools & Curriculum
Primary School (Pre-K & Kindergarten)
Our pre-kindergarten scholars begin at 4 years old in a blended age classroom environment. By the time scholars reach kindergarten they will have benefited from a hands-on, gently classical approach to learning incorporating both Charlotte Mason and Montessori methods. A teacher’s assistant is on-site in order to differentiate and personalize learning for Primary School scholars.
Our kindergartners focus on reading, grammar, writing, and math skills with an introduction to Latin and coding. They also study science, art, and social-emotional wellness skills. The Pre-K schedule is either 1/2 day or full day Monday - Thursday. Kindergarten is full day only from Monday - Thursday.
Lower School (1st - 5th Grades)
Our first through fifth-grade scholars begin to study history chronologically, integrated with literature, science, math, art, music, physical education, and foreign language studies. Scholars begin to recognize their own story within a grander narrative as their worldview begins to take shape and their unique passions emerge. Wellness and social skills are taught and emphasize character formation, virtues, and emotionally healthy habits.
Lower School scholars engage in teamwork and hands-on collaboration with STEAM studies that help develop confidence, leadership and communication skills, and innovative problem-solving.
Upper School (6th - 8th Grades)
Our sixth through eighth grade scholars experience a truly collaborative approach to learning with multiple mentors instructing them in specialized disciplines. Integrated, chronological history studies continue with connections to language arts, literature, writing, science, art and music of the time period. Wellness studies focus on physical education, spiritual formation, health, gardening and culinary arts.
A variety of electives are offered to Upper School scholars including apologetics, speech and debate, music, film and our signature Leadership class. Innovative leadership skills continue to emphasize character formation, virtues and service to community. Our goal is to prepare scholars to become entrepreneurial leaders of culture.
