My Project

Please help us jump start our student store. As an independent study focused campus, our school is designed to give students the flexibility to learn at their own pace.

Creating the Student Store will be an innovative and rewarding way to encourage self-motivation in independent study and personal academic growth in earning course credits.

To help our students continue to thrive, students can earn credits through their hard work, and in exchange, they can redeem those credits for food items, such as chips, cookies, noodle soup, soda, or candy, and other incentives. The Student Store will offer that extra push to keep students motivated to stay focused and excel in their academic journeys.
