Envision Schools students learn by doing, collaborating, and performing. Our teachers embed academic content—literature, history, science, and math—in projects that speak to the students’ lived experience and that have relevance and application in the real world.
Students invest in the content of a course and develop their ability to think deeply and critically about it when given these opportunities. Thus, an academic subject becomes something real and alive, integrated into each student’s growing understanding of the world.
Our educational model also includes real-world, community-based projects and internships at local businesses and community organizations. We call this The Workplace Learning Experience. Matched with successful college graduates in career areas of interest, students learn to advocate for themselves with adults who are not their teachers or parents and to use their skills to meet the demands of the workplace.
