Our vision is to do more than turnaround academically at-risk urban students and simply prevent them from dropping out of high school – we want them passionate about learning. We want them to reach their full potential by offering a nationally recognized learning program that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation called, “The coolest school in America”. Our mission is to create a private urban school, Allentown-Pennsylvania, that will enhance relationships and build relevant learning environments that empower students, parents and teachers to make choices. These learning environments utilize self-directed, project-based learning to build student autonomy and character - zest, grit, self-control, social intelligence, gratitude, optimism and curiosity, through relevant learning opportunities; create student belongingness through full-time advisories in a year-round school program; empower teachers via teacher-led and a democratically governed school. What we dare to dream, we dare to do. Join us!
