Building 21 partners with school districts to design, launch and operate innovative schools. Our schools are afforded significant flexibility and autonomy by our district partners to pursue our vision for student and adult learning. Our schools are measured against the same accountability systems as other public schools, and our teachers are all members of the local teachers’ union.

Studio Model
Studio Design Graphic Organizer Template v1 (Make a Copy)We call our instructional model "the studio model" which is our flavor of PBL. Studios are 10 week learning experiences beginning with a problem frame and ending with an authentic implementation of a solution. Studios are not part of a larger course. In fact, we are using this approach to deconstruct course-based thinking so student have more choice in how they demonstrate mastery of competencies.
Competency-based Model
Competency-based Model
We use the Learning What Matters competency framework as our school structure that defines progress and growth for our students. These competency sets also define our graduation requirements.
