What if you could create the perfect high school? What would your classes and teachers be like? How would you be motivated to learn? Would there be an option for post-graduates?
First, you want teachers who care about you and how you learn. Classes would be challenging, exciting, and illustrate value. You want teachers that listen and adjust to your learning needs whether you want to be challenged as an advanced placement student or you require tutoring. Imagine calculus at a picnic table under a tree with three of your friends and your teacher. The class ratio would be small and focus on individual attention, say two to four students per teacher.
Now, imagine class in Patagonia and your Spanish teacher has arranged to visit a Chilean high school to interview students. You open your Spanish dictionary to ask, "Tienes anos y te gusta Hannah Montana?" School has become fun and you begin to apply yourself.
Your parents are excited and proud of your learning too. Through video and photo media courses you learn to blog as you master video editing or photo composition. If you get good enough you can become a published writer or photographer.
The academics would not be easy which prepares you to apply for college. Your teachers care but also are stern with your assignments. You can easily approach your teacher during nightly study hall or just knock on her door.
The school sport is kayaking and you kayak every day after school. Some days you learn how to boof or run a clean waterfall. Other days you master the secrets of the latest freestyle moves. Then on other days you gain confidence running class III and IV.
While you are dreaming of the perfect school why couldn't the school travel to the best rivers and cultural destinations in the world? Of course, the school only chooses the safest culturally diverse countries with the best whitewater rivers.
After kayaking you rush back to your riverside base for dinner and prep for an hour of study hall. Then it is lights out, and time to dream of another perfect day of school.
Yes, this sounds like the ideal school, but are you ready to apply? The founders of the New River Academy utilize the school slogan, "And that has made all the difference," for every decision. New River Academy is not easy, you will be challenged, the academics are tough, and you have to decide if you are ready to apply yourself and develop into a leader. Since the academics are tough, students are accepted by the nation's best colleges and universities, and the teachers care.
