3DE Program Information

AT 3DE SCHOOLS, LEARNING IS AS DYNAMIC AS OUR STUDENTS

3DE’s multifaceted approach to learning uses case methodology to integrate real-world connectivity into the standard high school experience. This universally effective approach to learning is the anchor for interdisciplinary pedagogy, relevant connectivity, and authentic project-based application that is delivered in every 3DE school. The result is a high school experience that reflects the dynamic pace of activity and interconnectedness of life beyond the classroom walls. 

3DE’s dedicated teachers set high expectations and foster a strong sense of community among their students. Year-over-year, the curriculum layers in defined competencies to continually build students’ skills and mindset as they advance from facilitated learning to self-directed. By the end of their four-year high school career, students graduate with the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive in post-secondary and beyond.  

    • The district magnet window closed on January 15th.  For late applications, please use this link:  https://forms.office.com/r/hx2hn33Ggm 
    • Acceptances will start after February 15th. 
    • All 9th graders will need to have the elective Peer Leadership for their 3DE launch class.  The elective is needed as it is the foundational class that students will need for 3DE.  This gives students one other choice for an elective.
