Engage Students.  Involve Community.  Inspire Learning.  Build Aspirations.

 

​

Our educational process values the heritage of working communities by leading teachers and administrators to explore and design opportunities for students to engage in and learn through the real-life application of challenges and opportunities unique to a particular region. Rural Aspirations Design Specialists guide rural schools and communities to create replicable educational models with high academic and performance standards leading students toward a lifetime of learning. Through the design process, Educators explore real-world issues, investigate questions, and apply learning to create curricula that fosters creativity, self-motivation, work ethic, and innovation. Community members and organizations take an active role in the education of students through curriculum development, internship opportunities, mentorships and strong partnerships with schools.
