In LSR7, we believe students learn best when they can connect what they’re learning in the classroom to the real world. Through our Diploma Plus program, high school students take on hands-on projects that teach essential skills like teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking. These experiences also help students earn a Market Value Asset (MVA)—a recognition that demonstrates they are ready for college, careers, and life.

Check out some of the amazing real-world learning projects happening in our schools:
