A Comprehensive Approach to InnovationNCNSP's creates innovation high schools and puts the Design Principles into practice by transforming existing schools and establishing new schools.
Transforming existing schools:Creating focused and academically rigorous schools that serve all students demands a fundamental rethinking of the 20th century school model. Approaches include academies, small learning communities and other designs that result in schools with a student-centered approach to education.
Establishing new schools:More communities are establishing new schools in non-traditional settings such as college campuses or local hospitals. These schools emphasize acquisition of college credit prior to graduation and strategies to incorporate essential skills development.
