Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Charter Schools, Education
Mission: Create an environment of academic excellence characterized by industry-focused experiential learning; mentors who nurture, guide and trust; and students who develop a natural thirst to learn in preparation for their lifelong journeys.
Programs: We are reinventing high school with the launch of our flagship purdue polytechnic high school in august 2017. Students learn problem-solving and critical thinking through real-world design challenges. They use the design-thinking process, which includes analysis and reflection, to emphasize core academic concepts. Instead of a traditional schedule, teachers and students work together to schedule time for individual and group instruction in a variety of formats. Students learn to be responsible for recognizing gaps in their own knowledge and receive high-quality instructional support when they need it.
