Genius Zone Project Rooms:
Mentor-supported, project-based learning
Mentor-supported, project-based learning where kids turn their ideas into real results — together.
What Kinds of Projects Do Students Do?
Just as each child is unique, so are their projects.
How do we choose the right project for the students?
They take the Genius Zone Survey, telling us about their passions, natural talents and values
We generate 10 project ideas that incorporate the child’s unique passions, talents and values
We work individually with each child to use those ideas as the basis for choosing a project. We know it’s the right project when the student’s eyes light-up with excitement.
How Do the Project Rooms Work?
1. Arrival & Connection
Students arrive, introduce their projects, and begin with a short connection exercise to build focus and camaraderie. We kick things off together — then it’s time to create.
2. Focused Work Time
Students work on their own projects, side-by-side with peers. The shared focus creates momentum, motivation, and a powerful sense of “we’re in this together.”
3. Mentor Support (1:8 Ratio)
Each room is supported by experienced, jack-of-all-trades mentors — about one mentor for every eight students. When students need help, they can drop into a breakout with a mentor for guidance or problem-solving.
4. Sharing & Reflection
At the end of each hour, students share what they worked on and what they accomplished. This builds accountability, communication skills, and confidence — and students receive encouragement from peers.
Real Progress, Made Manageable
We use Agile methodology, breaking projects into realistic two-week sprints. Students set achievable goals, take action, and receive feedback at the end of each sprint — helping them learn how to plan, follow through, and adapt.
This structure builds:
focus
resilience
executive function
confidence in getting things done
Additional Support for Full-Time Students
Students enrolled in our full-time Master Path School meet weekly with a personal mentor. These sessions provide deeper support around projects, learning rhythms, and life goals — helping students strengthen their Genius Zone while building essential life skills for adulthood.
