SCVi Charter School is inviting families with middle school and high school students to an “Information Evening” event with a full line up of programing.

“We have an evening of excellent programming lined up to provide a wealth of valuable information for high school learners and their parents, as well as families with learners about to begin high school in the next year or two,” said Matt Watson, upper school director for SCVi. “All of these events are not only open to SCVi families, but we are excited to extend this invitation to the entire community.”

The presentations are scheduled for Monday, Jan. 25, starting at 6 p.m. at the SCVi campus in the Shakespeare Theatre, located at 28060 Hasley Canyon Road.

The evening will include:

• SCVi Upper School Overview
  • Information about SCVi, its project-based approach to learning, and its success in preparing students for college.
• An SCVi college counselor will provide information about the excellent colleges that have accepted graduates from SCVi’s first two graduating classes.
• The evening will also offer information on SCVi high school learners’ options, including the International Baccalaureate program, arts and literature opportunities, sports programs, internships, and the ability to take classes at College of the Canyons.
• Innovations Studios
  • In its pilot year, Innovations Studios is a hybrid learning program offered to learners in high school who are ready to take full control of their own education.
  • The program includes options such as internships, online learning, workshops, peer collaboration, independent study, and the supervised design of individual projects by the learners themselves.   
• International Travel Opportunities for Enrolled Students
  • Learners currently enrolled at SCVi and their families will have the chance to learn about this year’s opportunities for our high school students to travel internationally as part of a short term exchange program in the spring.
• “Looking Forward to College — What Needs to Happen Between Now and Sept. 1”
  • College planning expert Anne Cochran will provide this special presentation for 11th grade students and parents to help guide them through the very important junior year of high school, when many key actions need to be taken and deadlines need to be met in preparation for the transition from high school to college.

“Our college prep goes beyond getting into college, and actually prepares learners to know how to be successful in college,” Watson said. “Our learners also benefit greatly from having award-winning college expert Anne Cochran on our team. When you combine an expert team with the more personalized attention of a smaller-school environment, it really pays dividends for the students.”
