The Answers

What is the Apogee Code?

At Apogee we live by a code. We uphold the standard and we do the work necessary to keep that standard, and move forward.

What ages are you accepting?

We are currently accepting children ages 4-12 years old (13+ on a case-by-case basis) in our studios. Our campus age range will expand each year to accommodate our oldest cohort as they work towards high school graduation.

Will my child be grouped by age?

We believe children thrive when they learn alongside peers of different ages, rather than being grouped strictly by age. This approach allows them to advance at their own pace while building skills in collaboration and leadership.

When does year start/end?

Our first day will be in September, 2025. We will operate on a 10-month schedule. Our final day for the 2025-2026 year is will be in June. To receive the calendar when it is created please fill out our contact form.

How much outdoor time will be scheduled?

Whenever possible, we’ll take classes outside, weather permitting, because we believe humans are meant to connect with nature. Along with outdoor time, our students will engage in a robust Physical Education program that includes challenging workouts and lessons in physiology, biology, nutrition, mental wellness, and more. Students will need to dress appropriately for the weather. We will be outside daily, rain, snow, or shine.

Our goal is to develop real world skills that will be useful for the entirety of life. The primary educational experience comes in the form of fun Project Based Learning experiences where our young leaders not only learn the material but learn why it's important and how to apply it. We use Socratic Conversations, Rhetoric, Debate, and Philosophy to build communication, critical thinking, communication, and civil discourse skills. Our physiology class will partner exercise with education on biology, anatomy, nutrition, psychology, and more. We will supplement our PBL with traditional reading and academics to master specific skills.
