So if you walk into one of our school buildings, what you're going to see is at the beginning of the day, our students all get together for what we call a limitless launch.

This is a time where they're usually doing some sort of a group challenge.

Sometimes it's physical.

Maybe it's an obstacle course or it's solving some sort of a puzzle or figuring out how to build a tower in some hard way.

What it does is it gives us a chance to help them get started.

just kind of energized and excited for the day.

And we always use that opportunity to teach some sort of growth mindset strategy that they're then going to take into the rest of the day.

So after that Limitless launches over, our students then go into what we call our core academic learning block, which is two hours of time.

And when you walk there, what you're going to see is a bunch of kids that are in a room together.

Some kids might be sitting at a table with each other.

You might see a kid sitting on a beanbag, other kids on a couch.

But you're going to see kids

that are hanging out, they're working on computers.

Now here's what's unique.

You might walk past two seven-year-old boys, and one seven-year-old boy might be doing algebra, while the other seven-year-old boy who's sitting right next to him is working on his multiplication table.

It's that power of totally personalized learning that meets these kids where they're at.

We practice something called the Pomodoro technique, which is basically 25 minutes of focused time in each subject.

And then the kids go and do a recess.

They come back, do their next subject, go do another recess.

By lunchtime, their academics is all over.
