WHAT WE OFFER
PROJECT BASED LEARNING
Scholars work on personal projects they are passionate about and earn competencies in a variety of academic areas.
INTEREST-DRIVEN LEARNING
Each scholar develops a Personalized Learning Plan (PLP) with passion, interests, and competencies they will develop through project and coursework. The PLP drives scholar learning.
INTERNSHIPS
Scholars intern on Tuesdays and Thursdays at a business or organization in a career field they wish to explore. Scholars may change internships every 6-8 weeks.
SMALL LEARNING COMMUNITY
Scholars have one primary Advisor (teacher) who gets to know scholars and their family really well. Advisors ensure scholars are academically prepared for graduation and post secondary success.
