IGNITING FUTURE LEADERS

SPARK PROGRAMMES
SPARK aims to weave various multi-disciplinary elements of learning into a seamless experience that will enrich the lives of all of its students.
FOR STUDENTS IN GRADE 4-6
Spark students will develop a deep knowledge of how to apply academic skills and critical thinking to real-world problems. Our students will engage in interdisciplinary analyses of current and historical issues both at the local and global level. By pairing core academic skills with authentic experiences, children will develop important life-success skills in conjunction with academic success. SPARK students will discover their gifts and learn to use them to solve difficult problems.
AGE 5 - 18
SPARK offers specialized student profiles which analyzes strengths, areas of academic growth, social emotional wellness and other metrics to optimize educational outcomes and parents understanding of their child’s strengths.
To enrich the weekly learning experiences Spark will also offer specialized experiences where students will interact with the real world organizations and locations that are involved in the case studies that are being taught.
FOR INCOMING 7TH & 8TH GRADE STUDENTS
2 one-week day camps, hosted in July for incoming high school students and 8th graders. The camps will focus on developing leadership, organizational and interpersonal skills in participants. The Summer Studio will culminate in participants presenting group projects addressing real world problems, which highlight all of the skills they learned.
SPARK MEDIA
Strong collaboration skills are necessary to work constructively and effectively in teams so that integration of individual expertise and ideas mesh into a coherent solution. In the world, face-to-face interaction with colleagues across a conference table has evolved. Workers increasingly accomplish tasks through mediated interactions with peers stationed across the world that they may never meet in person.
