LUSI Flight Pod
Grades 6 - 8
🚀 "Ready to take off."
Middle school is a time when learners begin to take off—gaining independence, exploring who they are, and building the confidence to navigate the world around them. These years can either ignite that growth or leave learners feeling uncertain and disconnected.
​
At LUSI, we’re intentional about creating an environment where learners are supported as they begin this launch—building confidence, developing independence, and discovering their unique strengths.
​
At Level Up School of Innovation, we call our Grades 6–8 learners LUSI Flights—inspired by our moth mascot and the way learners begin to spread their wings and take flight, a reflection of this stage of growth and the journey toward independence.
What Makes Our
flight pod Special?
✅ Academics That Challenge & Inspire
Our curriculum goes beyond the basics, offering project-based learning, real-world applications, and personalized instruction that keeps learners engaged and motivated.
​
✅ Small Classes, Big Ideas
With a low learner-to-coach ratio, our middle schoolers receive the individual support they need to thrive while being encouraged to take ownership of their learning.
​
✅ Leadership & Life Skills
We guide learners to develop independence, responsibility, and confidence. Through learner-led projects, public speaking opportunities, and teamwork challenges, they learn how to communicate, collaborate, and lead.
​
✅ A Community of Friends & Mentors
Middle school can be tough, but we make it a place where learners feel safe, valued, and encouraged. Our strong focus on social-emotional learning helps learners navigate friendships, handle challenges, and build resilience.

Learners are encouraged to take ownership of their learning—setting goals, making decisions, and growing into confident, independent thinkers.
