Soar Program
What is Soar?
The Soar Discovery program is a middle school program designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and guide students in exploring potential future paths. At its core, the program aims to inspire a passion for learning and help students discover their interests and aspirations. This is one of our two paths available for IACS middle schoolers.
The Soar Discovery program not only focuses on academic growth but also emphasizes the importance of personal development, self-discovery, and balance.
Team Teaching and Collaboration
Core classes within the Soar Discovery program are led by two team teachers. This collaborative approach enhances the learning experience by providing diverse insights and support.
Collaboration between subjects is encouraged and initiated for projects throughout the year, supporting a deeper understanding of the subject at hand and how it applies to the real world.
Discovery Career Class
Students participate in a Discovery Careers class, where they are exposed to different career paths and industries. This class helps them understand the variety of opportunities available and allows them to make informed decisions about their future.
Capstone Celebrating Career Paths
The program culminates in a capstone project where students celebrate and showcase a career path that interests them. This could involve presentations, projects, or other creative expressions that highlight their interests and aspirations.
Exploration
Throughout the program, students are guided in discovering new possibilities, whether it be through the Careers class, guest speakers, field trips, or in class projects.
Upcoming trips planned include:
- Overnight at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
- Wolf Sanctuary
- Ute Museum/Wild West Museum
- Eureka Science Center
