About the Learning Program

Elements of i4Learning

1. Multi-age Collaborative Learning Environment – students are not bound by their birth year or year they enrolled in school. Students will learn skills needed to engage in a collaborative learning environment.
2. ePortfolios – students will develop an online portfolio that they will continue to build as they proceed through their learning experience.
3. Community Partnerships – the governance council, staff, PTO, students, parents will seek ways to partner with those outside the education realm to provide students with rich, meaningful, authentic learning experiences beyond the brick-and-mortar school.
4. Project-based Learning – students and staff will engage in project-based learning where they will have the opportunity for voice and choice in their educational journey through rich, authentic learning experiences.
