STRIVE 

Self Taught Real-world Independent Valuable Experience

 

STRIVE is a multidisciplinary, student-centered project-based learning environment where students earn credits while pursuing an individualized area of interest. The program will equip our high school students in becoming successful, contributing citizens in the 21st century through collaborative, hands-on and real world application learning. 


HOW IT WORKS

Each student in the STRIVE program will be part of a small learning community of 10-15 students called an advisory.

Each advisory group is supported and led by an advisor, a teacher who works closely with the group of students and forms personalized relationships with each advisee.

Each student works closely with his or her advisor to identify interests and personalize learning.  The student then develops a proposal for a project based on their interests. 

The student at the center of their learning truly engages and challenges themselves, and makes learning authentic and relevant.

Each student has an internship where he or she works closely with a mentor, learning in a real world setting, based on their interests and project.

Parents, families and community members are actively involved in the learning process, helping to shape the student’s learning plan and are enrolled as resources to the school community.

The result is a student-centered learning design, where students are actively invested in their learning and are challenged to pursue their interests by a supportive community of educators, professionals, and family members.
