    Enrollment

    We seek to enroll students who embody the following qualities and aspirations:

    • Engage in a rigorous academic program that includes inquiry-based learning and collaborative projects, with classes held three days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays) once internships begin.

    • Participate in real-world internships/work-to-learn experiences two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays), where they will explore careers, develop professional skills and make a positive impact in their community.

    • Contribute to campus life by participating in community and team-building activities, advisory and special events.

    • Work independently and proactively consult with teachers as needed, as part of the daily expectation.

    • Manage time and resources well and are self-motivated to fulfill the varied responsibilities of their individualized learning plan.

     

    Classes

    Two days per week, students work with a mentor from the community in an internship of their choosing, where relevant, authentic projects and learning give them a sense of how their interests play out in the real world and help them prepare for college and career. They will:

    • Discover passions and interests

    • Build relationships

    • Learn rigorous academics

    • Develop relevant skills
