THE GUARDIANS ACADEMY
www.theguardians.academy
OUR MISSION: To create an immersive environment that will foster future guardians of the land and navigators of an extraordinary world that needs to exist. We are a community that remembers and fights to reignite a fading, but deep, knowledge of old-world skills and artisan trade. We will re-introduce the long-forgotten foundations of core values and ethics by building a strong moral compass and creating future Masters of Trade, thereby ensuring the survival of this forgotten knowledge for generations to come.
OUR MODEL:
Explore (Grades K-5): Our students learn through adventuring with peers and alongside their Guardian Educator
Apprentice (Grades 6-10): Our interdisciplinary curriculum blends academics with hands-on, skills-based learning.
Master (Grades 11-12): We focus on fostering skills that last a lifetime by journeying beyond surface education and exploring the depths of possibility.
EDUCATORS AND SUPPORT STAFF:
The Guardians Academy was formed with the intention of reigniting the fire in vital but fading trades as well as re-establishing and renewing the critical importance of a strong work ethic, solid values, and an unwavering moral compass. We are constantly and consistently working towards building a reputation of excellence through extraordinary Educators and exceptional Support Staff.
CURRICULUM: Experiential education outdoors immerses students in their learning in ways that traditional education models cannot. With a hands-on, skills-based focus, students become invested in all aspects of what they are learning and this fosters a lifelong hunger for knowledge. Our students are allowed and even encouraged to, to push their own boundaries through supported risks, teaching them independence, resilience, and perseverance, outside of four walls. Instead of stand-alone subjects taught in a vacuum, skills and lessons are woven together, becoming transferable across environments and connecting students to the world around them.
INNOVATION: In this ever-changing global environment, young people require resilience and adaptability, skills that are proving to be essential to navigating effectively through our current challenging times. Looking to the future, some of the most important skills employers will be looking for will be creativity, communication, and collaboration. Being able to work with varied groups and embrace differences to harness the power of the entire group through effective teamwork. Our current global environment is in dire need of unshakable innovation. We encourage and advance forward-thinking in our unique educational model, allowing our students the freedom to innovate without limits.
