How is AdVENTURE Different?
AdVENTURE is different because it is more of a small school community; everyone knows everyone else. We know all of the teachers, and are all friends. We do a lot of projects, including blogging weekly and making a custom periodic table of, well, what ever you want! You get to learn how to program by creating educational games. You can even enter your game in competitions! In short, AdVENTURE is my favorite school yet! -- Matthew, 2022

Adventure is different from other schools because it is project based. This means that instead of doing worksheets or tests, we do a lot of projects and activities. We still do worksheets and tests, but they are only there to confirm our knowledge, so we don't do them very often. Another thing that makes Adventure different is that we get to use computers provided at school. This means that when we have to write an essay, take a quiz, or read something, we will usually do it on the computer. Sometimes, there are even days when we don't use a pencil at all! The last thing that makes Adventure unique is that we focus on collaboration. Because we have students from 5th grade to 8th grade, you will often times seen the older kids helping the younger kids.
Overall, Adventure is a great school for anyone who likes technology, team work, and projects -- Shin, 2022
