Templeton Academy

Templeton Academy prioritizes learning from authentic experiences and interacting with the world around us. Thus, we use our longer learning blocks to learn by doing — leveraging the resources of the city from museums, to libraries, to gyms and green spaces. In addition, the focus is on giving back to the city, as projects for courses are deeply intertwined with the community and its needs. Going beyond typical community service, students work with community-based organizations helping devise solutions to their current challenges. Learn more! Learn more! https://lnkd.in/enjnUzQS

Deeper Learning Our Academic model is built around Student agency, defined as giving Students voice and choice in how they learn. Our goal is structured agency — a learning community that is both Student and teacher-designed and led. Academic blocks of two hours over a 10-week term provides substantial time for rich, Socratic discussions, independent and community projects. We use the academically rigorous model of Gold Standard Projehttps://lnkd.in/eZz3ABQ9 Learning, in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects. We focus on authenticity and real-world connections, rigorous reflection and revision, and on increasing higher-level thinking skills and key success skills. Learn more! https://lnkd.in/enjnUzQS

Core Advisory The Templeton Core Advisory curriculum is focused on learning how to learn. Students come to understand that their job is putting in the work to educate themselves. Whereas a teacher’s job is to be a “guide on the side” rather than a “sage on a stage,” Students set SMART goals, are supported and held accountable with Peer Advisors and more senior Learning Coaches, developing active listening, collaboration, compassion and empathy — thereby becoming Peer Advisors and Learning Coaches themselves. Ultimately, all work is shared with the school community and larger community at biannual Community Exhibitions, fueling constant reflection, assessment, action and growth.

We believe joy is found when we feel truly seen, heard, and celebrated for who we are. Templeton Academy Students work to master critical skills such as resourcefulness, conscientiousness, creativity, curiosity, resilience, persistence, stress management and time management, helping to establish confidence and pride in their innate gifts.
