ABOUT THE GENIUS SCHOOL
About Us
OUR REASON FOR SERVICE
As scholars, parents, educators, volunteers, and activists, we have seen the first hand effects of many of the atrocities that afflict and affect our community at large-especially the school experience.
We have also seen that despite and in spite of these challenges, our youth are still able to grow and achieve at high levels given the right people involved in the charge, a positive and demanding culture, an effective agenda, and an abundance of sacrifice and love. At The Genius School, we aspire to be the change we want to see in the community. Join us as we Ignite achievement and change throughout Indy, one scholar at a time!
Our Vision
MISSION STATEMENT
The Genius School does not only desire strong academic outcomes for its scholars, but also relies heavily on ensuring scholars develop the Habits of Success to promote productive and joyful lives. Scholars are trained to develop growth mindsets and to become critical thinkers. These key elements include personal growth, drive, empathy, gratitude and curiosity. Every scholar at The Genius School will have access to a martial arts infused physical education curriculum. Scholars will learn self-respect and self-discipline. In addition, the educational foundation will center upon the latest research in neuroscience, brain compatible teaching and learning, and the attitudes and techniques consistent with this progressive research. In that way, we can leverage and create a learning environment where teaching and learning is more efficient and achieved at continually deeper levels. Additionally, the curriculum will be fortified by alliances with some of the leading researchers and scientists int eh country and field of brain research and culturally responsive pedagogy.
