What We Do at Liberty Academy
Purpose
We use massive amounts of off-site programming (career exploration, project work, and volunteering) to help kids better understand their interests, aptitudes, and next steps after graduation.
We give students in our community who have fallen behind a chance to graduate on time using self-guided, skill based portfolios that serve as comprehensive learning records of the past, present, and future.
Process
We immerse students in an environment and culture designed to isolate deficits, heal trauma, increase self-efficacy, and rebuild the whole child using agency, mentorship, conversation, and authentic experience.
We work to isolate and patch the academic skill gaps most necessary for life after high school (reading comprehension, basic number sense, communication skills, computer literacy) using a framework of daily standardized personalization.
Product
We give students the opportunity to design and navigate their own secondary learning pathways while engaging in a sustainable programming model designed to build and grow the concept of Match Quality.
