Live Learn Launch Academy
We are an online alternative school for families looking to educate their children in real world topics that serve the world they are living in today.
Academic Focus
Entrepreneurship
The ability to see opportunity and turn it into a business is what Live Learn Launch strives to teach our young and growing entrepreneurs. Our focus is to allow students the freedom to think creatively and critically about business; to research and understand markets and develop ideas. We ensure students learn how to endure, pivot and problem solve. But most importantly, our entrepreneurial focus is to teach students to believe in their vision, in their self, taking risks and continuing to learn and fail forward through hard work and perseverance.
Financial Literacy
Financial Literacy is essential in today's world. At Live Learn Launch we make sure to focus on building all our students' financial understanding in a modern world, teaching them key financial terms and practising how to successfully think in a society driven by finances. Our students gain the knowledge needed to not have to ask questions about their financial future, but to understand, so they don't end up left behind.
Life Skills
Navigating through the world has become more complex than ever before. There are a myriad of environments children are existing in today. Not only do the youth need to learn traditional skills like cooking, cleaning, or gardening. Not only do they have to develop their manners and etiquette, or public speaking and social skills. But they also have to understand media literacy and existing online in a virtual world. Our Life Skills are tailored to address the complex environments of the word, both online and offline, teaching the skills and mindset needed to thrive.
Critical Thinking
There is a great need to develop critical thinking skills in a world flooded with misinformation and bias, which is why our focus is to hone in on careful consideration to thoughts, questioning opinions in complex articles centred around real-world issues, examining these topics with a cognitive bias approach. At Live Learn Launch we focus on actively reading diverse and challenging articles, discussing and researching topics, which are then debated weekly, putting into practice formal public speaking skills.
Debate
Discourse, debate, and the "town square" are vital for a flourishing culture. The ability to effectively craft an opinion through research and critical thinking is essential for navigating the world around us. Additionally, having the skills to clearly communicate and debate key issues while simultaneously remaining open-minded and yet confident in one's beliefs are equally important.
At LLLA we focus time on a weekly basis to teach these skills and underline their importance in all aspects of learning.
Creative Thinking
At Live Learn Launch, we nurture creativity, not educate students out of it. We understand that thinking creatively is essential in all industries. That is why students are encouraged to think creatively through many specific tasks across the PERT Curriculum, tapping into their imaginations to problem solve, work on brand development or even personal finances. Creative Thinking is at the core of our education because creativity is what shines in a world built on ideas. Before the hard work, there has to be a vision. Through a life of thought, there has to be Creative Thinking.
