Success in the Innovation Area
Most of today’s schools are stuck in a 19th-century curriculum and instruction model. Despite a culture and economy focused on technology and innovation, conventional schooling isn’t helping young people develop the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the 21st-century.
Discovering passions, pursuing personal goals, learning accountability, developing essential skills to build on those passions and achieve those goals is what Templeton Academy is all about.
