Our project-based curriculum materials and instructional strategies provide a meaningful context for students to engage deeply with content and take ownership of academic skills. As a community school, our relationships with our community partners will support authentic learning opportunities. Students will engage with community members by learning from experts in the field and contributing their ideas to actual local issues and dilemmas, tied to our four themes. In order to prepare, they will read complex texts, write about the topics they study, and engage in purposeful conversations. Our curriculum and instructional strategies are engaging and rigorous for all students.
