What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, October 21, 2016

R5 uses different instructional formats, including projects, group, and integrated. We have a new building in 2016 to accommodate our learners' needs and to encourage collaboration among staff and students. We have over 300 learners who come to learn career skills in addition to core subjects (math, science, English, and social studies). Our learners can work at a flexible pace with a flexible schedule. We don't believe in making students sit in a chair for 9 months to earn credit. They finish when they finish they are responsible for their own learning. Close Quote
