Middle/High School
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
Project Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects. We use this method to engage neurodivergent students in learning that is deep and long-lasting, and which inspires for them a love of learning and personal connection to their academic experience.
Student learning goals for projects include fundamental, real-world academic content, life skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, self management and project management, and social skills such as communication and collaboration.
Through hands-on project-based learning, our students work hard to gain insight and understanding into the fundamental academics which support the life and social skills they are learning. Our curriculum covers all the basics: Math, Science/STEM, Language Arts, and Social Studies. But we offer so much more! From Health and PE to Cooking, Art, Music, Horticulture, AgEd and ToolTime, your student will receive a solid, well-rounded and real-world education here at Dynamic Opportunities.
Student/Teacher Ratio
We make every effort to maintain a 1:5 student/teacher ratio.
Degrees Offered
Students may earn either a Diploma or a Certificate of Completion depending on their individual academic performance.
Homework
We do not assign homework. The collaborative nature of PBL does not lend itself well to individual work away from the group. And, after a busy, hands-on day, most of our students need time to decompress at home.
Communication
Our teachers and administrators enjoy speaking with parents about their child’s education. For same-day needs, our staff will make every effort to respond immediately. Requests for conferences, performance inquiries, and other non-emergent matters will receive a response within 24-48 hours. As an organization, we believe it is critically important to keep our parents informed, so our homeroom teachers send out bi-weekly updates and a school-wide newsletter goes out from the Administration between each of our projects.
