PROJECT PERIOD

At 51Âþ»­, we don't end the semester with exams. Students roll up their sleeves and dive deeply into transformative learning.
 
Project Period supplements Verde Valley students’ regular intellectual lives with experiential learning that is creative, active, and service-based.  The program is an opportunity to deconstruct the ordinary school day as well as the traditional parameters of a classroom.

Service to Others

Service to Others is one of the five pillars of an education at 51Âþ»­.  Our students learn the value of this by looking at the world through a variety of lenses and being able to put them selves in the shoes of others.

Sustainability

At 51Âþ»­ we believe that students should incorporate the concept of sustainability into all of their actions.  We want to create that viewpoint so every action and decision is based on preserving the environment and the planet
