Learning through internship

Each student spends two days a week engaged in meaningful project work in an internship outside the school building, under the direction of a mentor. The internship enables students to pursue their interests and passions. Project work is designed to foster broad learning rather than merely developing specific vocational skills. The advisory teacher ensures that the internship work is integrated with the student’s learning goals and school-based study. Mentors volunteer to take on this role, are trained by the school, participate in the school life of the student where possible and work with students to create learning projects that support the learning at the workplace. In turn students can work on these projects and present their outcomes at school. Through LTIs students will learn maths, science, reading, writing and additional skills that they cannot learn in a classroom.
