WHAT IF TEENS ARE
FAR MORE CAPABLE THAN
WE’VE EVER IMAGINED?
Apogee Dripping Springs is a Micro High School program
serving students age 13-17 years.
WHY MICRO?
We Teach the way humans learn best
Learning in small groups fosters a more personalized and interactive educational experience. Students are more likely to engage in meaningful discussions, collaborate, and feel safe to fail in small groups.
This setting also nurtures a sense of belonging and community, crucial for emotional and social development during the teen years. And let's be honest - it's really hard to hide socially or academically in a small group.
Education vs. Schooling
With computers in their pockets - students no longer need to memorize facts and figures... Rather, teens should be equipped with:
true Life skills
Character Development
career preparedness
