The Accelerated Academy has been named one of the most innovative schools in the world. With its bilingual classes in French and English, its accelerated programs, its active, project-based pedagogy, its constant search for academic excellence, its unprecedented development in technology (featuring virtual reality classes in the Metaverse), and innovative modules such as robotics or 3D artistic design, Open Mind seems to have branded itself as the premier 21st century school over its French and American competitors.”The unique composition of its founding members and board distinguishes our school: We have professors and administrators from prestigious universities and international schools, tech entrepreneurs, and renowned engineers from Stanford, Berkeley, Oxford, MIT, Harvard, the ENS, and Centrale Paris”, says the founder Mr. Arnaud. Aware of current traditional schools’ obsolete practices and the need to reform education in depth while preserving the great principles of the Enlightenment’s humanists and philosophers, the founding members of Open Mind and their team of professors want to be the leaders of change in the educational field. With their experience and expertise in various fields of knowledge, they plan to achieve convincing results by developing in children, from the earliest age, the knowledge and skills essential for them to become tomorrow’s leaders and the creators of a better world. Among the abilities they foster are: critical thinking, analytical skills, creativity, self-confidence, empathy, and a willingness to collaborate and excel using the latest technological tools. “School should not teach us to think about the past but to define a vision of the future and create the conditions necessary to build that future.”The school is selective and the waiting lists are getting longer because we want to create an environment of excellence without physical boundaries. “We are already present in Europe, the USA, and Asia, and we have many partnerships with schools that wanted to expand their contributions, but we want to focus on the quality of our educational offering, which is absolutely exceptional. Among our guest speakers, we have been lucky enough to receive the director of Green Peace, engineers from Google, renowned artists, theater and opera directors, and CEOs of major companies.”
This pioneering school serves as an example to other French schools: “We have seen our methods and approaches flourish in many international schools. We are happy to see our influence. There is a higher purpose than schools—it is education. The goal is really to develop and impose by its quality and efficiency the type of education that will dominate school 3.0. Our results in exams such as the baccalaureate and A-Level prove that our approach is excellent. Our students, some as young as 16 years old, have entered prestigious schools and universities this year. They are happy and feel like they can fulfill their potential in a demanding and joyful environment (because learning should be done in joy, not in frustration). They also feel that they are at the forefront of innovation in our immersive and Metaversal environments as well as in our 3D science lab, which they help to improve. Because students are actors in their education, they build our school and compose their own education through our modular system.” No one doubts the effectiveness of this groundbreaking school with its unique vision anymore. It seems that Open Mind is making history by creating a school for the future.
