We're Doing it Differently

We’ve created the high school we wished we had gone to; you won’t find desks, rows, or even classrooms.

Lark Academy has designed a flexible supportive space that reflects the challenges and possibilities of the real world. A place where information and skills are immediately applicable. A place that embraces the technology and realities of today.

The world has seen expansive technological growth, yet the majority of the standard American high school curriculum was set during the Industrial Revolution – in 1892, to be precise. It is based on the memorization and regurgitation facts, on the standardization of set topics to be recited for examinations and essays. It may have been revolutionary at the time, but times have changed. You have access to the world’s knowledge in your hand, you can look up anything within seconds. We know that. You know that. So why do so many schools ignore our technological and social reality?

What makes humanity unique is our creativity and adaptability. You need to learn how to use the information at your disposal, to evaluate it, and apply it – not memorize it. We are excited for the changes the 21st century is bringing and we want you to be successful by the standards of this century, not the ones that preceded it.

We will support you through frustrations and setbacks, they are inevitable. Things get hard, and we believe that is more than okay, it’s part of the process. Developing depth of character and perseverance are critical to face life’s challenges.

We want you to exit high school prepared for whatever you choose to pursue, not just for the SAT.

 

Co-Work, Co-Learn

We believe schools should exist in the modern world, so we found a home for Lark Academy we think you’ll love. Our partnership with WeWork means you and our staff have access to a global network providing flexible co-work spaces; thoughtful, modern facilities; and daily interactions with the professional community.

We combine independent learning, individualized instruction, and group experiences so you can engage with your education on multiple levels. We have incorporated internships, outdoor exploration, and international travel as foundational elements of our curriculum to ensure your education is as dynamic as real life.
