Our Students Are Successful
Nationally, only 12% of first-generation college-bound students go on to receive a degree from a four-year college. Here in California, only one in three high school graduates—and only one in four Latino or African-American students—is eligible to attend either the University of California or California State University systems. At Envision Schools we are producing results that fly in the face of these statistics, with 93% of our graduates attending college and some 84% of our 2009 graduates accepted to four-year institutions. We maintain a persistence rate of 95%, with the vast majority of our graduates re-enrolling in the second year of college.
Student Success Stories
Envision Schools enjoys sharing the success stories of our students that have found direction and focus in our project-based learning programs. Many of our students have compelling and unique stories that bring them to our schools. After attending Envision Schools they awaken an interest in themselves that propels them forward to successful academic and career paths.
Project Based Learning
Through Project-Based Learning, or PBL, students are able to explore core academic content within a system that requires significant student input and design. Our students put their academic knowledge to work and create in-depth projects that demonstrate their mastery of complex questions and problems in many disciplines including art, math, literature, science and more.
College Acceptance
Each year, Envision Schools graduates are accepted to colleges across the country. Most of these young people will be the first in their family to go to college. This is the type of student success that drives us every day.
