Introduction to PAW & CLAW

This week we introduced our innovative PAW (Personalized Advanced Wednesdays) and CLAW (College/Career & Leadership Advancement Wednesdays) programs.

PAW Program: For Our Young Innovators

Designed specifically for our 6th and 7th graders, the PAW program aims to ignite passion and nurture skills for future success. Each week, students delve into three elective workshops of their choice, alongside a required Book Club session. This balanced approach allows students to explore various interests and develop essential skills, fostering their academic and leadership potential. From arts and technology to language and sciences, PAW offers a broad spectrum of workshops, each led by dedicated professionals.

CLAW Program: Preparing Future Leaders

Our CLAW program is dedicated to career and leadership development, targeting older students, 8th through 12th grade, ready to take the next step toward ethical leadership in a global world. Every Wednesday, they engage in three specialized courses, each under the guidance of credentialed and experienced professionals. These courses span critical categories of College & Career Preparation, ensuring that our students receive top-notch education aligned with leading institutions and reputable organizations.

The Structure of our Program

PAW:

Elective Workshops: Students choose 3 from various options.
Required Book Club: Encourages reading and critical thinking.

CLAW:

College & Career Preparation Core Courses: Three mandatory classes, touching on career guidance, leadership skills, and ethical decision-making.

Why PAW & CLAW

Real-World Relevance: Both programs integrate real-world applications, preparing students for academic achievements and leadership roles.

Professional Guidance: Courses are taught by industry experts, ensuring high-quality education.

Balanced Learning: Combines freedom of choice with structured learning, promoting personal and professional growth.

We are incredibly proud of our students' enthusiasm about these new programs and are confident that PAW and CLAW will be powerful tools in shaping their futures.
