As part of the  Middle College National Consortium, we share a learning model, design principles and professional supports with a successful national network that promotes:

• High expectations and standards for all students
• Projects that emphasize student-centered inquiry
• Small, heterogeneously grouped classes and class time adapted for in-depth exploration of topics and sustained learning
• Instruction and assignments that provide structure, feedback and support so that all students achieve at higher levels and are helped to meet college expectations
• Mixed-ability student groupings and classes enabling the academically “stronger” to help the less prepared
• Adaptations meeting the needs of challenging learners
• Attention to students’ academic and affective needs
