What is Threefold Schoolhouse?
What exactly is the difference between Threefold Schoolhouse and other schools?
1. Technology
Threefold Schoolhouse uses the latest technology in a self-paced learning environment that is designed to foster responsibility, goal-setting, and teamwork.
2. Learn by Doing
We believe people learn by doing. Whether it’s launching a startup business, creating a tidepool habitat, playing a musical instrument, painting a mosaic, or programming a robot, Threefold students are building real-life skills every day.
5. Internships
Beginning in middle school, our students will obtain apprenticeships in a field about which they are passionate. They will intern with doctors, entrepreneur bakers, plumbers, attorneys, and graphic designers in order to gain real world skills and learn at the feet of a master. What will your child choose?
6. Virtue
We encourage our students to develop personal virtues such as honesty, hard work, responsibility, kindness, and empathy. Armed with purpose and good character, we believe our students will launch into adulthood prepared to find their calling and change the world.
3. Guides, not Lecturers
We believe the learning experience is much richer when the teacher (called a “Guide”) offers insightful questions and facilitates hands-on learning. Guides use the Socratic method, always responding to students’ questions with new questions. This exchange hones students’ critical thinking skills. No boring sit in your desk teacher-led lecture-style learning here!
4. Learner Driven
Threefold Schoolhouse is learner-driven, meaning, our students take ownership of their education and their peer relationships by agreeing together on rules of conduct, budgeting their own time, and working amongst themselves to solve problems. They learn to think independently, take responsibility, and embrace challenge.
