The core of our programming is Project Based Learning with a variety of projects: Teacher-Led, Student-Led and Community-Led.
We open at 8:30 am for students to arrive, get breakfast and settle in. Classes start at 9:00 am. In Upper Campus the day ends at 3:00 pm (M,T,TH,F). Wednesdays we have early release for staff development at 1:00 pm.
