At Círculos, we are project-based, as we strive to provide authentic learning experiences for all students through student-centered, rigorous and relevant projects. Embedded within these projects are the Círculos competencies, which are a set of interdisciplinary skills that equip students with the skills necessary for success beyond high school. In addition, we offer flexible learning environments where the students' needs are prioritized, offering dual enrollment, CTE pathways, flexible scheduling, student interventions, study zones, and even passion sessions. Finally, we pride ourselves as a small learning community. Students are seen and heard daily, allowing them to cultivate their voices. Students regularly meet in circles to reflect on their learning, acknowledge challenges, and share successes. Not only are these circles focused on students' academics, but also on their social and emotional health.
