But 2020 has changed us all and has shown us that even the best growth plans can disappear. That is why our one-of-a-kind curriculum is expanding beyond the development of artistic and athletic skills, but also includes an added focus on providing our children with the necessary tools to become champions of life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our schedule will still provide for the very best daily trainings in the arts and athletics, but to truly demonstrate that we are committed to developing students ready to conquer life, our middle school students will now choose majors in technology, entrepreneurship, horticulture\/agricultural, or life studies with minors in their artistic medium or sport-specific focus. With this change our school schedule will now be designed with Fridays as a day to work on majors and a day of inspiration and internal discovery.\u00a0 This revolutionary holistic curriculum design will flow through to our elementary-aged students, where Fridays become their innovation day \u2013 designed with programs that inspire, pique curiosity, and allow for self-discovery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We look forward to the challenge of developing today\u2019s champions, and providing the tools to inspire and create tomorrow\u2019s leaders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sincerely,<br \/>Paul Holyfield<br \/>Founder<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-49297518\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block;
