Personalized Pathways for All Students

We believe that students have a variety of needs, interests, and ambitions, and that our K–12 education system ought to reflect this. This means that schools should offer challenging opportunities for high achievers, effective support for struggling students, and various avenues to college and career success, including traditional college prep and high-quality career and technical education.
