An agile culture and community of families who connect with one another and provide support with the option of enrolling in a revolutionary K-12 experience and child-centered space in Tampa for self-directed learning! an alternative private school for K-12 students. Home-school friendly, part-time or full-time options available. Educational drop-in childcare, tutoring, special needs and mentor-ships available M-F 10am-4pm. We welcome you to our independent school for self-directed learners. By harnessing powerful tools for self-organization and intentional culture creation, our students deeply engage with the world through their passions and strengths. Our learning environment embraces choice & freedom along with collaboration between peers, teachers, and the local community. The Agile Roots 1. Learning: Learning is natural & is happening all the time 2. Self-Direction: People learn best by making their own decisions. Children are people. 3. Experience: People learn more from their culture and environment than from the content they are taught. The medium is the message. 4. Growth: Personal growth is achieved through cycles of intention, creation, reflection and sharing. The creative mind is about connecting the dots between technologies, environments, people, and problems to bring about solutions that create a more interesting, beautiful world. There is a growing awareness that our common model of education has failed the creativity of our youth, and is only showing signs of becoming more standardized and fruitless. At Real Life ALC, imaginative thinking is celebrated and creative endeavors define our day-to-day learning. We have tailored our culture for self-exploration which creates an environment that is ripe for discovery of one's passions, creativity, and flow. Only if we recognize the creativity of our youth and create an environment where their ideas can flourish, will we see a generation that is truly empowered to create a more promising future. Ultimately, we want our children to enter the world feeling wisely-creative, intelligently-optimistic, and compassionate as leaders. It is our responsibility as educators to create an environment where these traits are not only celebrated but brought out of them in meaningful and fulfilling ways.
