About This Cause
Keen Minds * Compassionate Hearts * Global Action Mackintosh Academy nurtures the keen minds and compassionate hearts of the gifted child in a responsive and caring community of learners. Our students mature into confident, healthy human beings inspired to contribute to a world that needs them. As an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) School, Mackintosh Academy’s mission aligns with the International Baccalaureate program’s mission, “to create a better world through education.” Mackintosh Academy has a one-of-a-kind learning environment that nurtures the seeds of unique genius in every child. A preK-8 progressive, independent school for gifted and creative learners, our school is designed for gifted and creative students who are by nature curious, creative, and highly driven to learn. Our culture recognizes the whole child and cultivates innovative thinkers, balanced learners, and caring individuals. At Mackintosh Academy, we pride ourselves on being pioneers in a new kind of education, uniquely meaningful and inspiring, built to prepare our gifted and creative students for a happy future in this uncertain world. Mackintosh Academy offers: Small class size, allowing for personalized instruction for diverse learning styles, designed to bring out the gifts in each student. Balanced IQ and EQ. Gifted students need support that not only addresses their mind but also their hearts and bodies. We believe that empathy, compassion, and other social-emotional skills are core to our children’s development. You can read more about our social-emotional curriculum on our Compassionate Hearts page. Personalized, child-centered approach. Recognizing that every child is uniquely gifted, we tailor the depth, speed and complexity of our lessons to each child’s needs and learning capacities. Our school-wide math block means that rather than grouping children by age, students work in groups suited to individual levels. Project-based learning makes room in the classroom for children’s interests and passions. Hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Gifted and creative learners thrive on the challenge of meaningful questions and problems worth solving. An accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) school, Mackintosh emphasizes hands-on, inquiry-based learning with an internationally accredited academic program. Students leave Mackintosh competitive, confident, and prepared to flourish in our complex and quickly changing world. Collaborative environment. We incorporate teamwork and group projects into our curriculum to develop students’ collaborative skillsets. Collaborative learning not only fosters intellectual capacity but students’ ability to solve problems with a variety of peers—qualities needed to stand out in the 21st century.
