Every Day is Day One!

Research

PURPOSE

Student choice and voice, which we call agency, is a key tenet of our purpose as a school. We maximize student agency through time built into our schedule four days a week. 

Research meets most Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the school year. It is built to provide student autonomy in their learning. Students will learn the skills to manage their time effectively to focus on academic work or work that they are passionate about. Students will have access to most parts of our campus and also to their teachers during these times.

PROCEDURES

Research

Research is for student work and must have an academic focus tied to their current schedule and coursework. Due to the academic focus on their work, we award 1 credit for their time in Research over the course of the school year. During Research, students also work on their Presentations of Learning (POL) for 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students. A portion of a student’s grade is dedicated toward the POL creation and presentation.
