As an example, students are introduced to artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and the Kandinsky circles to bring to life the concepts of geometric shapes that they learn about in math.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34ac76c elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"34ac76c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/learning-at-ua\/creativity\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">learn more +<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ade2d0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1ade2d0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d52177 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0d52177\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a3ce85 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3a3ce85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/junior-inline-003.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11988\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/junior-inline-003.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/junior-inline-003-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/junior-inline-003-768x580.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef1ee7b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ef1ee7b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4133f32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4133f32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Innovative Learning<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35084f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"35084f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Exploring new ways to learn is the most innovative way to transfer knowledge. It takes more effort to infuse the latest innovations into lessons, but the results really speak for themselves. Using new software and programs is standard here and every day we challenge what it means to get an education. With iPads for each student, they utilize the latest technology apps to support learning in reading and spelling. By experimenting with the creation of avatars and animated characters students gain an early introduction to the concept of coding.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3db6d69 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"3db6d69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/learning-at-ua\/innovation\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">learn more +<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-882ccd3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"882ccd3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-654d4d8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"654d4d8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb1ac3d elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bb1ac3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"337\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/junior-inline-002.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11991\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/junior-inline-002.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/junior-inline-002-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ffdc55 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4ffdc55\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-522aa94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"522aa94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Experiential Learning<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ae71a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ae71a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At Urban Academy, the environment becomes the curriculum.
