Mission
Statement:
Project Academy will foster a working environment (Culture ) that treats individuals as partners. It will establish a community of people who will work together for the common good of the team. Classroom atmosphere will balances trust, risk-taking, originality and respect. It will be an innovation-friendly environment that embraces fast-cycle sharing, supports risk taking, and celebrates learning from failure... establishing a protective environment. The teacher will act as the facilitator but allowing the students to develop their own learning using questions and feedback to create life-long learning. The approach of continuous improvement will be practiced through out the program.

Starting a Program Bring inspired learning to your school with an After-School Project Based Learning activity Students need a fun environment that teaches life skills while solving real world problems Our school year and summer programs offer Project-Based Learning and Service Learning activities to immerse students in hands-on learning experiences that develop both their academic and social-emotional skills. Why choose Project Academy as your partner? · Customized: Our After-School programs are not off-the-shelf, pre-packaged programs. We customize each program to the needs of your specific school and community. We'll conduct needs assessment with teachers, school personnel, and parents to craft a program that really suits your school and meets your goals. · Experienced: As a partner, we bring to the table deep experience in creating and managing high quality school programs for all age ranges, and for students across the learning continuum - We have trained many schools in doing Engineering Lens programs and will do the same for Project Academy. · An active partnership: Typically, Project Academy will partner with your school to identify and train a program coordinator from your own staff, so that the program is truly integrated with your school's culture and curriculum.
