The program is a new concept that has developed a wide variety of students abilities and excited their interest in education and self-directe

37、d learning. They are a group of students that , instead of being educated through the normal school courses, have created their own subjects and project-based interactive learning.

38、le year. These goals have included some impressive attempts such as writing a novel, writing a play , learning the piano and more.
