Student Courses: Our student courses start with what all thriving schools do well - build authentic relationships. Recognizing that the student-teacher relationship forms the foundation for all learning, we position the learner at the center of the course and design curriculum backwards from the learner. Our classes are personalized, competency-based, and learner-driven. And, our curriculum is designed to help Academic Leaders offer a robust academic program for their community.
Association for Academic Leaders: Academic Leaders are charged with developing, leading, and revising curriculum and pedagogy in their schools. They serve as models and guides in times of change and inspire confidence in others. The Association for Academic Leaders provides the resources and community for Academic Leaders to strengthen their own professional growth and impact the work of their school. |
