Program Model

Program Model: Individual Rotation, A La Carte

Model Description
Students progress at their own pace, based on their personalized learning plan, and use an “extended campus” of workshop-based instruction, computer adaptive programs, blended and online courses, and community learning opportunities to meet SFF’s career and college readiness graduation requirements.

Students attend SFF from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. participating in a variety of classes and activities that includes Learning Quests in which students work on self-identified projects of interest and recreation and wellness. Learning takes place in different venues–classes, individual work stations, internships, college campuses, and in the community. Through SFF’s learning management system, students can stay after regular school hours to plug into their personalized learning “playlist” or do the same at home through their mobile device.
