how it works.

Learner-driven community

We are a learner-driven community with high standards, emphasizing self-management and governance. Our students draft and sign a Contract of Promises outlining behavior expectations and consequences. Running Partners and Squad Leaders foster accountability, goal-setting, and mutual support among peers, and celebrate character-building decisions.

Full-time or part time enrollment

We offer full-time or part-time enrollment. Part-time schedule is offered through our Independent Study program. Visit our PSP page for more information.

Courses change every session

Courses, which focus on real-world 21st Century Skills, change every session (which are typically between 5-6 weeks in duration).

non-traditional school calendar

The students work intensely for ~6 weeks and then take 1 week break. The Guide uses these breaks to prepare for the next project-based quest and holds parent-teacher conferences.
