Systematic Truth Learning Method (STLM)

Systematic Truth Learning Method is where facilitators relate to students of color by being transparent about the educational systematic disparities and oppressions that students inherently sense and feel but may not be able to articulate. STLM validates the often, unspoken feeling that students of color feel from facilitators because of biases and implications often unintentional yet very impactful in a harmful way.

Rigorous Inquiry and Competency-Based Education  

VPAC will use projects to introduce inquiry-based learning. Grounded in inquiry-based methods, students will mature into competency project-based learning. With efficiency proven throughout the school year, projects will be produced.

Culturally Relevant Education

VPAC will prepare students for future success in college and career. Self-directed project-based approaches that embrace inquiry and competency-based learning support and nurture natural genius.
