A Statewide Experiment
in Student-Driven Learning
We're a hop from the leading city of educational innovation: Pittsburgh.
We're home to NASA, the USAF Materiel Command, 20 major art museums, six Presidential centers & museums, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the Ohio & Erie Canal, and a host of local history centers of #place-based_learning.
