The Elementary Studio
The Elementary Studio is a space for the community of mixed age learners (the Eagles) who collaborate, respect, and support each other. It is flexible to maximize the Eagles' creativity and independence. They will work together to create rules to structure and govern their studio while also learning the academics and extra-curricular activities
by learning to do, learning to be, and learning to learn.
