My Students

The students at our school are definitely creative! Our curriculum is enhanced not only by our professionally experienced in the field teachers, but also by our extraordinary curriculum! We have classes in Architecture, Video Production, Graphic Design, and Art, to name a few. At our school, we focus on each student's natural talents and we hone in on them in order to help students to grow into stronger artists, expressionists, and wholesome individuals.

My Project

My students came across "The Simulation Hypothesis: An MIT Computer Scientist Shows Why AI, Quantum Physics and Eastern Mystics All Agree We Are In a Video Game" and have been glued to this concept ever since they started hearing about it.

Giving them access to state of the art scientific and philosophical research, my English I students will have the tools they need in order to start researching The Simulation Hypothesis, in order to find out if we are indeed living in a computer simulation.

The best part is that they are extremely interested in this topic which will make them even more inclined to want to do their best work!
