The inspiration for Apogee Strong San Antonio began with the desire to create a new atmosphere for learning, stemming from a deep conviction that traditional education systems, which often require young children to remain sedentary and passively absorb information, are not aligned with a child's natural inclinations and needs. Understanding that children thrive through play and exploration, which are critical for cognitive, social, and emotional development, our founder believes an educational environment should foster curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. By embracing a model where students engage in hands-on projects, real-world challenges, and Socratic discussions, we aim to cultivate independent thinkers and lifelong learners better prepared to navigate the complexities of the modern world. This approach respects children's innate learning styles and equips them with the skills necessary to succeed in an ever-evolving future.

have tried to succeed.”
