== Instructional Model ==[1]
Envision is dedicated to starting small, academically rigorous high schools that use project-based learning, art and technology to engage students in learning. Studies show that all else being equal, students in small high schools score higher on examinations, pass more courses, and go on to college more frequently than those in large ones.
All Envision Schools are characterized by the three R's:
- Rigorous instruction that challenges students with high expectations.
- Relevant curriculum that motives students by giving them the opportunity to apply classroom course work to real world experience (i.e., internships in 11th and 12th grade).
- Meaningful relationships to ensure that a caring adult is involved with every young person's learning experience and to enable teachers to personalize learning based on a student's unique needs.
