One Schoolhouse designs competency-based courses with the student-teacher relationship as the cornerstone of our personalized pedagogy.  Courses are intentionally developed to be learner-driven; they are informed by seminal and emerging constructivist education research and by data gathered within our own living practice.

In 2023-2024, Academic Leaders consistently identified three issues as top-of-mind: workforce development, student mental health, and Generative AI. As you’ve started to look forward to 2024-2025, you’ve added community polarization to that list. 

For the last two years, we've created a report every May called Marking the Moment. This report was designed to give Academic Leaders resources, research, and insights on a number of top of mind topics. Academic Leaders found Marking the Moment helpful as a starting place for leadership team discussions or division/department deep dives.

One of our Academic Program’s school-wide competencies is building academic maturity. When Academic Leaders enroll students in our online courses, students don’t just get the course content–they learn a suite of skills and strategies that they’ll use in high school, college, and beyond.

Academic Leaders know that when students are pushed beyond their comfort zone, they develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a deep understanding of the subject matter. This isn't about grades; it's about the way students grow.
