Where ages 10-13 can feed their curiosity, build independence, and engage in real-world problem solving.

 

At this stage, children are full of questions, ideas, and curiosity. They are ready to stretch their thinking, explore new challenges, and take increasing ownership of their learning. The Innovators program gives middle schoolers a structured, yet flexible environment where they can grow academically, creatively, and socially — all while pursuing their interests and passions.

Who Innovators Is For

  • 5th to 8th graders who are eager to explore topics deeply and independently

  • Children who thrive with lively discussion, projects, and collaborative learning

  • Students ready to develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills

  • Families seeking support for meaningful academic growth, enrichment, and preparation for the high school years

Innovators works especially well for families who want to encourage greater independence, have their children actively engage in small group learning, experience mentorship, and gain more global awareness and perspectives.

I like that Wildflower lets you explore yourself. Here, you have time to try new things and figure out who you are.
