Profile: e3 Civic High

e3 Civic High embraces its urban setting and unique location in the state-of-the-art San Diego Public Library and maximizes its relation­ship with the downtown community to provide students with powerful learning experiences focused on pre­paring them for success in college, career, and civic life. Students learn through a mixture of self-paced online in­struction, teacher or student-led small-group instruction, direct in­struction, and problem-based and project-based work. Career exploration and early college opportunities combined with shared use of library facilities and resources demonstrate the extensive community partnerships that define this charter high school.

Lebanon School District: Lebanon High School

After positive results in a pilot year, this district adopted a station-rotation blended learning approach school-wide in its only high school in order to deliver a more student-centered education, help current teachers be more effective at meeting the individual needs of students, and create a more cost-effective school. Located in a small city in central Pennsylvania, the district intends to demonstrate that blended learning can be transformational in a mainstream school without additional costs or waivers.
