Picture a high school where students are immersed in their learning, fascinated by their courses, collaborating on real-life projects, and valued for who they are as members of the school community. Where students are problem solving, innovating, and graduating ready for college and careers they care about.

How we do it
1.
We’re getting students out of the classroom and into the community, where they can learn and contribute to solutions that matter.
2.
We’re involving students in the design of their courses, where they learn through projects that reinforce core subjects with rigor.
3.
We are rethinking how student progress is assessed. After all, the current system was designed over 100 years ago. Times have changed; why haven’t our schools?
4.
Teachers and practitioners don’t just test our products–they make them. We rely on these experts to design, innovate, and refine our tools and resources in the classroom, in real time.
