Ai² is a project-based middle and high school built around community, character, and purpose. We combine deep belonging with high challenge and real-world preparation.
Quick Snapshot
Monday: Set the Tone
Learners set weekly SMART goals and prepare for the challenges ahead. They dive into Core Skills—like reading, writing, and math—through self-paced tools and deliberate practice. They build focus, track progress, and reflect on habits that shape character.
Tuesday–Thursday: The Heartbeat of the Studio
Learners engage in Socratic discussions that spark deep thinking and connection. They collaborate on team projects, explore quests rooted in real-world problems, and develop communication and leadership skills. Workshops offer skill-building in writing, speaking, design, and innovation. There's a rhythm of individual focus, team collaboration, and active feedback loops.
Friday: Meet the Real World
Learners step into the real world through apprenticeships, service projects, fieldwork, or guest mentor sessions. It's a day of impact, contribution, and real-world context—a time when learning becomes visible in action.
