Purpose + Engagement = Learning

• The Center for 21st Center Skills uses rigorous, standards based blended learning courses and virtual learning tools to challenge and engage student learners from grades 7-12.

• Recognized and funded by the National Science Foundation (ATE/iTEST) and the US Department of Education (i3) we serve over 1,500 students a year through our Digital Arts and Sciences Academy.

• Anchored by our six critical 21st century skills, our mission is to prepare students for school, work, and life.
