At Greenfields Academy, our students—or Griffins, as we like to call them—enjoy freedom within an exploratory learning structure that seeks to inspire, not to confine. Our daily schedule is designed to help our learners develop core skills in math, science, reading, writing, and civilizations while giving them the freedom and flexibility to govern their time and learn at their own pace. 

Mornings are reserved for core skills, where they often collaborate and seek assistance from other Griffins and our Guides. Greenfields’ Guides will work with them to figure out what their individual learning needs are. When our learners aren’t working in small groups within writer’s workshops and civilization discussions, they have control over what they work on. Griffins learn to manage their time accordingly, taking brain breaks, using the restroom, or enjoying a snack when they need to, no permission necessary. After playing outside and eating lunch with friends, they focus on studio-wide and individualized projects that focus on real-world challenges, developing the skills and mindset to help them thrive inside and outside of school. There is also time set aside to explore curiosities and dive deeper into their passions. All of this and more takes place within an intentional, all-inclusive learning community our Griffins work together to create where everyone feels welcome.

At Greenfields, our learners have the freedom to manage their own learning path that focuses on their goals, passions, and commitments.
