 our curriculum models

We use a blended learning approach because it creates an individualized result for each student challenging them academically as well as honing their “soft skills,” such as time management, self-advocacy & self-discipline, which greatly benefits them in college and the career world.

 
 

Blended learning models

Web-supported

Curriculum that is designed so that an on-campus teacher provides the primary means of instruction and utilizes an online component to supplement learning.

web-based

Curriculum that is designed to provide all course content through an online platform and is delivered by an on-campus or off-campus teacher.

 

SOFT SKILLS

Both Web-Supported + Web-Based models are designed to help students develop soft skills including:

  • Agility + Adaptability: Learning skills are more important than tech skills.

  • Accessing + Analyzing Information: Students must process information from various sources effectively.

  • Curiosity + Imagination: Students must be inquisitive and able to ask important, pertinent questions.

  • Creativity: Design thinking is more essential in the workforce than ever.

  • Critical Thinking + Problem Solving: We expect students to ask good, pertinent questions using their analytical skills and resilience.

  • Effective Oral + Written Communication: We expect communication to be clear, concise, and focused.

  • Collaboration + Leadership: Students must be able to influence and lead others especially in virtual teams.

  • Initiative: Students must be able to take initiative with the ability to fail and recover.
