A Critical Thinking Program Exploring Science, Literature, Self & Society (Grades 8–9)
Innovate is a dynamic enrichment course for students in Grades 8 and 9 that blends scientific inquiry, literary exploration, and personal reflection to examine the world and our place in it. Students engage deeply with topics in science and technology, analyze powerful works of literature, and explore the connections between personal identity and broader social change.
Through hands-on and minds-on projects, learners tackle questions about innovation, ethics, belief systems, and human progress. Whether investigating the mysteries of space, debating the impact of artificial intelligence, or interpreting poetry that speaks to social justice, students sharpen their critical thinking and communication skills in real-world contexts.
Innovate moves beyond the standard curriculum to develop well-rounded, thoughtful students prepared to thrive in school—and to lead with insight, empathy, and purpose in the world beyond it.
