“We're here to empower young people to lead impactful lives now and to create the untested future. This means that, while we are a school, our intent is to connect to real world skills and opportunities outside of school. After all - outside of school, adults are rarely segrated by age, are valued based on their work more than written test; and typically only pursue knowledge that interests them or advances their career. As our peers move toward graduation, they will be prepared for whatever life after school may look like for them - in college, tech school, start- up companies, nonprofits, or as part of the workforce. The world young people are inheriting is big, diverse, always-changing, and more challenging than ever. Students at (and graduates from) next high school will be prepared for the unknown future by working with that future now; building their communities now; and making an impact now.”
