The LOFT academy is a dynamic, creative environment that offers a project-based, STEAM-inspired curriculum. By asking “Essential Questions,” students become more engaged and discover new pathways to learning.
One of our Lofty Goals is to enable integrated learning across a wide variety of subjects. We provide the environment, facilitators and materials to explore big-ideas and develop projects that stimulate the learner to enthusiastically engage. We look for real-world problems for the learner to explore and solve in a creative and authentic way.

We accomplish this style of learning through a practice called Project-Based Learning (PBL). What is PBL? It is a student-centered pedagogy that involves a learn-by-doing approach that results in a deeper knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems.  Learners have the opportunity to develop 21st Century skills such as problem solving, leadership, collaboration, written and verbal communication skills, and initiative.  These skills are all well developed in project-based learning.

Through PBL, learning goals are geared towards persuasive speech, collaboration & teamwork, and critical-thinking skills.  These are the types of skills our children need to be productive, empathetic, independent contributor in our society as adults.

Our compassionate and relaxed kids’ space inspires our students’ curiosity and confidence through child-navigated educational experiences and hands-on experiments.
