School Differently
Academics
At 10X Academy, learning doesn’t take place through the text book. We believe that the learning process involves active engagement and participation in hands-on experiences, discussion, collaboration, and team work. Students should be challenged to think critically, explore their ideas, and set learning goals as a means to measure their academic growth.
The three main Focused Academic Areas are
Language Arts
Math
Coding
Academics
Math : Use reasoning and probability for projects and practical life
Language Arts : Reading, Critical thinking, and persuasion skills
Coding : Software development and data processing fundamentals
Foundational : History and the Bible; physical and life sciences
Projects
Hardware : Build robots and drones; solder and 3D print parts
Software : Design and code games, apps and useful software
Trades : Change a tire, repair a pipe, and cook some burgers
Non-Traditional : Make a film, create a brand, start a business
Physical Training
Strength : Develop functional strength,speed, and agility
Skills : Lifelong games like pool, hoops, ping pong, and soccer
Self-Defense : Basics of boxing, karate, ju-jitsu and others
Outdoors : Hiking, biking, camping, surfing and the natural world
There are three critical forms of literacy required to participate in and succeed in the modern world. Reading and writing, numbers and probability, and software programs and coding. Adding to this foundation are history, the sciences, and study of the Bible. Projects link our academic pursuits to the world outside of school, and teams will be building a new project every two weeks that combine all of these elements. At 10X, your son will be getting dirty – through projects, boys will have the opportunity to learn how to solder, cut, code, plumb, drill, hammer, and wire. Learning at 10X is multi-disciplinary. Whether the project competition is highly technical software or physical challenges like building and racing a bike, writing and communicating about the outcome is an essential part of the learning process.
