The Workshop School
We envision graduates who value learning, growth, and building community; and know how to shape their lives and our world
Foundations For Life
At Workshop, we go beyond conventional education. It's a place where students don't just learn; they actively contribute to a vibrant community that thrives on thinking, doing, and growth. From collaborative projects to hands-on experiences, we foster an environment where skills are not just acquired but honed.
​
Our focus extends beyond the classroom. We believe in preparing students for the complexities of the ever-changing world. They are equipped with essential skills that go beyond textbooks – critical thinking, adaptability, and resilience. We are sculpting individuals who will not just survive but thrive in the dynamic landscape of the future.
​
In essence, Workshop is more than an educational institution – it's a foundation-building experience. We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey, to invest in the futures we are shaping. Together, let's build the foundation for a lifetime of meaningful achievements. Join us in empowering these students for success in a world that demands not just knowledge but the ability to apply it with purpose. #WorkshopFoundation
Student Foundations
From the moment they enter their 9th grade year to their walk across the stage in 12th, Workshop students traverse educational and career paths that resonate with meaning and purpose. It's not just about acquiring knowledge; it's about discovering passions, unlocking potential, and finding one's unique trajectory.
​
Here are some of the ways our students develop their foundation...
Hands-on
Learning
As a Project-Based high school, students assignments are hands-on and relevant to the topics and issues they're interested in learning about.
Real-World Experiences
From internships to conferences, our students are constantly surrounded by opportunities to apply their learning to real-world settings.
Community Immersion
Starting with advisories each day and ending with life-long mentorships, the Workshop family is never-ending and strong.
Out of School Engagement
Chess. Women of Workshop.
A Student-Run Craft Business.
The opportunities for our students to explore their interests are endless
The Workshop School
