What is IMPACT
IMPACT is a cutting-edge curriculum framework that reimagines education by emphasizing the importance of authentic engagement through personalized and collaborative experiences, skills, and strategies. With a focus on preparing young people for the challenges and opportunities of the future, IMPACT sets a new standard for modern education.
We have deconstructed the school and redesigned it with its best parts in the right proportions, plus more:
-
Personalized curriculum: our agents (students) will create their own guided learning journeys following a template, meeting all kids at their social, economic, and academic levels
-
Passion-based projects: agents will seek out and design projects according to their interests
-
Purposeful learning: learning will come from engaging in solving real-world issues, directly impacting their communities following the five pillars
-
5 Pillars: each student will immerse themselves in these five realms: culture and identity; civics and social justice; stewardship and global issues; innovation and entrepreneurship; internships and apprenticeships.
-
Guidance and mentorship: we train dedicated guides to help students navigate through their education, which will also help find them a mentor in a field of their interest
-
Portfolio vs. GPA: Accomplishments should be measured by actual work rather than an artificially designed grading system. IMPACT promotes portfolios with real-world experiences that will be much more meaningful and applicable for college- and work-bound futures.
-
Community integration: Learning journeys will be assessed on their positive impact on the community. Our agents will no longer be in an isolated box called the school but an integral part of society throughout their education. IMPACT collaborates with industry experts and professionals to design relevant and up-to-date experiences. By incorporating real-world perspectives, students gain practical insights into their chosen fields.
