Philosophy

We're embarking on an exciting journey at the Discovery Academy of Innovation! We firmly believe that when students are engaged, they achieve greater success. Our dedicated teams of educators, content experts, instructional designers, and engineers work together to create a learning experience that combines play and education. Here are the key aspects of our learning approach:

Learning by doing

We believe kids learn best by actively participating in real projects. Whether it's building drones, creating toys, designing games, or making interactive media, our students learn by rolling up their sleeves and diving in. This approach not only helps them gain knowledge and skills but also nurtures their love for learning and their willingness to explore and experiment.

Learning in Real Contexts

We know that learning isn't limited to classrooms. Our students get to solve real-world problems like designing energy-efficient home systems or advocating for homeless dogs and cats. They gain the skills and knowledge needed in the 21st century by tackling challenges in the real world, from urban areas to natural disasters.

Learning with Passion

We encourage students to follow their interests, discover their passions, and create projects that truly matter to them and their communities. Our programs are all about personalized learning, allowing students to advance at their own pace and increasing their engagement.

Learning through Play

We think learning should start with wonder and fun. Our teachers, designers, and technologists are experts in creating experiences that blend play and learning. Sometimes, students become secret agents in our computer science classroom, restoring play and laughter to a world where it's forbidden. Other times, they join a mad scientist and her apprentice, traveling through time and creating all sorts of imaginative playthings. Play is at the heart of our programs, offering immersive, motivating, and fun learning experiences.

Learning Together

We believe in learning as a collaborative effort. Our diverse team of experts and communities of practice, both local and global, enable students to learn alongside peers, mentors, and experts. Peer-to-peer learning and constructive feedback play a significant role in the learning process.

Learning Across Real and Digital Worlds

We focus on technology and innovation. Our students explore emerging tech, from games and virtual reality to intelligent systems and AI. They understand how technology can solve real-world problems and are encouraged to ask questions, seek answers, and imagine innovative solutions.
