Tuition-Free Education That Puts Students First: Dimensions Collaborative K-12 {SPONSORED}

0

While everybody enjoys learning, not everyone enjoys school. When learning is personalized, learners can thrive. Dimensions Collaborative School (DCS) is a K-12, tuition-free student-driven program with learning centers operating throughout San Diego County. Dimensions Collaborative School is guided by an educational philosophy in which the learner, rather than standards or curriculum, is at the center of a students’ learning plan.

dimensions collaborative k-12With the guidance of a California-credentialed Educational Facilitator, learners are empowered to pursue deeper and more meaningful learning by creating and following a learning plan and designing a network which integrates specific standards with their unique learning needs and interests. Students work with others both within and outside their grade level and have access to facilitators and mentors with a wide variety of talents and backgrounds. Optional group instruction is offered at learning centers 2-4 days per week and multiple opportunities are provided for other specialized instruction and real-world learning.

During their educational journeys, students demonstrate mastery by making progress toward expertise in areas related to their goals, autonomy through choice and self-directed learning activities, and a sense of purpose by participating in authentic learning which contributes to something larger than themselves. Learning has purpose by engaging in discussions, activities, and work products which contribute to developing their maximum potential.

DCS also offers a full array of other activities and scholastic benefits such as: Mock Trial, Student Expos, Online Classes, Real-World Apprenticeships, Organized Sports, Theater Art, Prom and Grad Night.
