Students have spent a long, productive day at school by the time they come to the Academie. We provide them with the balance between traditional academia and cutting-edge learning which caters to their passions. Our sample schedule provides you with a look at how this is accomplished. Blocks of time will be allocated for activities on a weekly rotational basis. For example, during STELLAR™ projects, students will rotate between Scientixium lab, Artixa Minor studio, Texnix Enginuitix lab and other extra-curriculars. A calendar of activities will be posted for you to understand what your students are working on currently.
