Real learning.
Real impact.
In the heart of downtown Raleigh.
Our program is built around interdisciplinary Studios and Journeys—immersive learning experiences where subjects like science, humanities, and writing are connected through real-world projects. Instead of taking separate classes, students explore meaningful questions, collaborate with peers, and create work they can share through presentations and portfolios.
Mini courses. 1.5 hours. 1 day per week
