Skills21
Skills21 offers a range of self-paced student projects designed to accelerate student success as we emerge from the COVID pandemic. The project curricula and platforms have been crafted specifically to meet the unique challenges districts currently face and are supported by Skills21’s twenty year history delivering student-centered learning.
Capstone
In the Skills21 Capstone Program, students demonstrate mastery of a variety of college and career ready skills through an individual passion driven project. Skills21 works with school districts to design a Capstone program that aligns with the school’s portrait of a graduate and fits the school’s implementation needs.
The Personal Interest Project (PIP) is a remote/hybrid learning opportunity for students to follow their passion. The PIP platform guides students through a process to explore an area of interest and create something of their own choosing. Students are encouraged to get creative as they learn, solve and create! Projects can be submitted to our PIP Expo.
