Leader School
Leader School
How we do it:
Interest-driven learning
We have more information than we could ever possibly learn at our fingertips. Why limit ourselves to what a teacher says we have to learn? At Leader School, students spend a significant portion of their time learning more about whatever interests them most.
Students own their time
In the real world, no one tells you exactly what to do every minute of the day. At Leader School, during the entire second half of the day, students are able to choose what they want to learn about or work on. We set some standards for how much time needs to be spent throughout the year on different subjects, but beyond that how they spend their time is up to them.
Mentors, not teachers
Instead of telling students what to do, our mentors (our name for teachers), focus on guiding students in their own learning journeys. They'll help students reflect on their progress, identify learning opportunities and resources, set goals and keep them accountable to achieving them.
