A day in our Studios is creativity within constraints: large blocks of time for work and play with clear but broad guardrails, equipping young people to manage their time, set goals, and track progress.

The schedule is flexible to accommodate different learning needs. Students can rearrange work blocks and choose from a variety of work options based on personal goals, passions, and commitments.
Each week on Friday, except the week before the Exhibition, our learners step into the natural world to slow down, observe closely, and learn through direct experience at local sites such as Deer Hollow Farm, Hidden Villa and local parks.
Learners spend weekly time outdoors at local nature sites, hiking trails, observing plants and wildlife, sketching, and asking questions about ecosystems and seasonal change through direct experience.
Learning in real outdoor environments sharpens attention and curiosity. By engaging all their senses, learners notice details, make observations, and develop scientific thinking that deepens understanding beyond what can be learned indoors.
In varied outdoor settings, learners show new strengths and leadership, building empathy, teamwork, and confidence as they face real challenges together.
