Authentic Demonstrations of Learning
At Life Academy we provide students with opportunities to demonstrate their learning publicly through” Defenses”, a high stakes presentation that illustrates a students’ readiness to progress to the next grade level. Students engage in these Defenses in the 8th grade, as a passage point into high school, again in 10th grade as the midpoint of high school and finally, at the end of the 12th grade as a demonstration of their college and career readiness.
