Lark Academy was originally conceived as a learner-centered high school at home in a coworking space with in-person internships and international travel- a lot has changed in just a few months.
We have put our in-person plans on hold due to the pandemic with hopes of revisiting them in 2021.
Responding and adapting to the current needs of our community, we are creating relevant virtual programs to support teens and families.
There will be two main offerings for teens this fall:
The Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship orIDE Program:
This is a small virtual pilot of Lark`s program model that focuses
on the development of21st-century skillsthrough
project-based learning and mentorship. With a maximum of 15
students per cohort, students will meet live online several days a
week, collaborate, and connect. Students will be required to
identify a problem, research and develop a solution, and tangibly
execute that solution with the guidance of their mentor and
feedback from experts. Our goal is to provide empowerment,
problem-solving, and socio-emotional wellness to build resilient
young adults capable of navigating these uncertain times. The
currently planned start date is September 21,
2020.
Lark Labs:Each monthLark Labs will gather teachers,
experts, artists, engineers, and other professionals who will host
short courses and workshops aimed at cultivating interests and
inspiring minds. This program aims to stimulate learners into
exploring and engaging in new hobbies, skills, and building online
connections with peers through shared virtual space. Any teen can
sign up for these (regardless of where they are enrolled) as
courses are priced individually. Courses will range from the fun
and fanciful to practical adulthood oriented instruction. Starting
this fall!
