Curiosity

We will approach people, ideas, conversations, and even conflict with curiosity, all in the service of learning. We strive to cultivate a culture of wonder in our studios.

Wythe vs. Traditional education

WYTHE ACADEMY

Guides

inspire, equip, and connect learners, acting as game-makers who facilitate learning with thought-provoking questions and real world projects then step out of the way.

Learners/HEROs

drive their own education by setting personalized goals then transparently tracking their progress.

Self-Directed

learners move at their own pace in foundational subjects like math, language arts, practical life, and sensorial.

Studio

a startup or co-working space where learners choose a work space that supports their learning while working independently or collaboratively with peers.

NO Test/Tracking Success

core subjects learned for mastery while science and the humanities are project-based and work is presented at Exhibitions for public feedback.

NO Homework

learners spend time after school pursuing their passions.

Adventure

is what the academy feels like – it’s part of the Hero’s Journey. Learning involves failure, allies and mentors, tools, and a final goal.

TRADITIONAL SCHOOL

Teachers

are the focal point of the classroom and viewed by students as experts and the provider of answers while being an arbiter of right and wrong.

Students

have one teacher lecturing to many students.

Teacher Led

students being taught at the same pace, regardless of their abilities or potential.

Classroom

institutional building with rows of desks with a teacher lecturing at the front

Test/Tracking Success

pass or fail no in between. Use progress reports and report cards to measure success.

Homework

students are given hours of homework that creates stress and tension in the home.

Prison

is what school feels like – with bells, shifts, detentions and a one-size-fits-all students approach.
