Middle School
ARK EducatePhilosophy
ARK Educate builds on the earliest years to empower the future of education through Innovation Mindset in the Middle School years. It is our commitment to prepare the next generation to become innovation thought leaders. To this end, we challenge students to connect scientific, philosophical and technological principles to real-world systems, to emerging innovations and to original ideas.
We envision the classroom as a laboratory for innovation where students test, revise, and defend their ideas, and collaborate with one another. Failure is seen as opportunity and success is a springboard for taking new risks. Hands-on inquiry, and Problem First Thinking build student agency as the relationship to learning is proactive and engaging.

Middle School Program
ARK Educate’s Middle School curriculum empowers students to think like innovators as they explore the technologies shaping our world. Designed to be modular and flexible, schools can select modules that best align with their goals across a range of difficulty levels.
Students engage in mediated discussions, hands-on experimentation, and independent research as they investigate disruptive technologies, their real-world impact, and the ethical questions they raise.
