What is Ignite Day?

What is Ignite Day?
Leading the future of learning has been a goal of RVIS since the school opened. To be successful in this rapidly changing world, people need to be agile in their thinking, creative in their problem solving, and collaborative in their daily life. The traditional model of school leans towards compliance rather than agency, memorization rather than problem-solving, and passivity rather than engagement.
IGNITE Day is a new approach that offers a unique learning experience designed to help students develop these skills through personalized academics, development of personal identity and talents, and building strong community partnerships. Throughout their time at RVIS, students will flourish in this new approach and find success in school and beyond.

What does it look like?

  • Participate in weekly intramural and elective activities.

Integrated Units

Students participate in integrated inquiry-based learning engagements that will deepen learning outcomes; provide meaningful and authentic experiences; and help develop core competencies such as collaboration, communication, complex thinking and creativity.

Arabic Enrichment

In Grades 1-3 students explore a range of topics through the Arabic language.

Electives

Students explore a range of topics based on their personal interests and passions.

Intramurals

Students in Grades 1-5 participate in mixed grade level team sports each week. These activities will build confidence, athletic skills and camaraderie.

On IGNITE days, secondary students will:


  • Engage in personalized learning seminars;
  • Participate in weekly intramural activities and clubs;
  • Serve as leaders on school committees & clubs;
  • Engage deeply in social-emotional learning (wellbeing) to ensure they are flourishing as individuals.

Personalized Learning Seminar

Personalized learning seminars allow students to explore a range of passion-based learning options in a short-term setting. Seminars are organized into strands, and students will have the opportunity to earn badges in key areas such as communication, innovation, Leadership etc.

Pastoral Care

Advisory sessions focus on building connections and relationships with peers and the Advisory Teacher. Advisors will also integrate age appropriate social-emotional curriculum to further develop interpersonal skills. Weekly assemblies allow for community building and showcasing learning.

Intramurals

The goal of intramurals is to ensure students emerge as confident and collaborative young adults. Playing team sports is an excellent path towards both of these aims. Students engage in weekly intramural sessions and play competitive sports with their peers.

Clubs & Committees

Students further their leadership skills by serving on clubs or committees. Clubs include STUCO, Change My World, MUN and more. Committees may be long-term or short term, and allow students to be part of decision-making, organization and event planning.
