From The Ground Up
Our students will build a strong core foundation four days a week and spend the fifth day immersed in problem-based learning to solve community issues and at real-world settings where they can experience possible future careers firsthand. It’s all about expanding students’ access to pathways that lead to high-paying, high-demand careers. And it starts in kindergarten.
