Third Future Schools: Dyad Program
We believe that learning happens everywhere - both inside and outside of the classroom. To ensure that our students are introduced to as many experiences as possible during their time at our school, we have created the Dyad Program.


The Dyad Program is based on the concept that learning comes from the acquisition of 3 things: knowledge, experience, and perspective.


For this program, we group two grades together: 3rd + 4th, 5th + 6th, 7th + 8th.
Students in these grades are given a set of requirements to complete within that two year period. How they complete the requirements is up to them.
The requirements include a range of life experiences and educational ventures such as:
-
travelling to another country
-
learning graphic design or virtual reality
-
participating in sports
-
participating in performing arts
-
learning about health and fitness
-
volunteering for community service

Oftentimes students will meet many of these requirements outside of school, by playing on their local sports team, volunteering in their community, performing in local events, or travelling with their family. However, Third Future Schools also provides opportunities to complete requirements:
-
during daily Dyad classes in school (see below)
-
during our after-school clubs and groups
-
during our annual out-of-state class trip

Some students will even get the chance to travel internationally with Third Future Schools.
