At Tessellations, our accelerated core curriculum<\/b><\/a> engages students with depth and relevance with a mix of direct instruction, facilitated discussion, and interdisciplinary hands-on projects. Alongside traditional subjects, all students take Tessellations Studio,<\/b><\/a> a class in which they develop research methods, design thinking, and collaboration skills by working on complex, long-term projects with real-world impact.<\/p>

Complementing the core curriculum and Studio, our Signature Programs<\/b><\/a> provide students with opportunities to explore, make real-world connections, and learn by doing. During our 3-week experiential elective term<\/b>, students can choose an intensive class, participate in an internship, or propose an advisor-guided project. In our week-long outdoor experiences<\/b>, students develop environmental stewardship, practice self-sufficiency, and bond with their classmates. Finally, through two 10-day international exchange programs<\/b> per year,<\/b> students are given a global perspective, visiting four continents in four years.<\/p>

Tessellations prioritizes Student Wellness<\/b><\/a> – students benefit from a reasonable homework load<\/b> and regular 1-on-1 check-ins with staff mentors. In small-group Learning Communities, students learn social-emotional and executive functioning skills through the lens of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.<\/p>

Co-curricular Activities<\/b><\/a> at Tessellations includes after school experiences, student-led clubs, and athletics offerings. Opportunities reflect the interests of our students – Tessellations has an award-winning debate team, multiple Live Action Role Playing (LARP) clubs and a resident Dungeon Master for D&D. Students are empowered and supported in starting clubs and events.<\/p>

Tessellations students engage in deep self-discovery, tailor their experiences and projects to their interests, and create a portfolio that represents their authentic academic journey, articulated in a competency-based transcript<\/b>. After four years, they have the clarity of purpose, agency, and durable skills<\/b> needed for graduation and college admissions<\/b><\/a> and success in a rapidly changing world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
