History
We began our work as a for-profit named Iocari Games, educating children through role-playing games since 2011. This year, we launched as a 501(c)3 in order to reach a broader audience of children, including at-risk and disadvantaged youth.
Specialties
The Game Academy empowers learners to achieve social, emotional and academic success through our use of role-playing games in educational contexts. We engage imaginations with interactive games wherein communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking are the keys to unlocking adventures in learning. Our curriculum is designed to help them make enduring connections between what they know, what they are learning, and what is possible. Most importantly, our games are designed to be FUN! The Game Academy provides an engaging and enriching way for children to play in a structured, creative environment. We craft inspiring, immersive game-experiences that translate into powerful tools of reflection for understanding the world and the self.
