⭐ Tier 3: High School (9–12)

Our High School tier provides a flexible, personalized learning experience for teens ready for greater independence. Students design customized academic plans, explore interest-based electives, and engage in meaningful projects that build real-world skills. With mentorship and accountability, high school learners develop ownership, confidence, and direction for their post-graduation goals.

Students in this tier experience:

• Independent learning plans tailored to their interests, strengths, and future goals
• Customized coursework in core subjects using mastery-based completion
• Elective creation in areas like photography, science, writing, technology, or career exploration
• Portfolio-building projects that showcase learning and skill mastery
• Flexible pacing that allows students to move faster or take more time when needed
• Regular mentorship check-ins for planning, organization, and accountability
• Real-world experiences through community involvement, interviews, research, or work opportunities
• A calm, supportive environment that replaces pressure with purposeful progress

Best fit for:

• Independent or emerging-independent learners
• Teens with strong interests not supported in traditional school
• Students needing a flexible pace or alternative structure
• Learners who thrive when given freedom with mentorship

Why it works in a multi-age school:

High school students work independently or semi-independently during younger students’ play cycles and middle students’ guided work times. This structure allows the teacher to mentor, check in, and review work during natural pauses in the daily rhythm—making high school education highly personalized without requiring constant direct instruction.
