WHO WE ARE - Wellsprings High School:
Wellsprings High School is an accredited high school for youth grades 9-12+. We employ a cooperative, team-based model in which teachers educate and mentor young people using conventional and unconventional methods. We focus on meeting our students where they are and developing individualized curriculum that promotes lifelong learning.
At Wellsprings, we believe that education is not a "one-size-fits-all" transaction. Our pedagogy is based on the understanding that learning evolves from relationships, engaging curriculum, and the ability to expound upon the inherent interests of each student. We see all knowledge as collective, meaning that no hierarchy of discipline takes precedence. Wellsprings provides alternative learning approaches, supportive community, and a culture of individual affirmation, in which teenagers are mentored and assisted toward meeting the challenges of adolescence and adulthood.
