Sacramento New Technology High School (SNTHS) targets individual student interests and the development of individual responsibility by teaching in a creative business-like culture that values learning at high levels.
SNTHS utilizes a different curriculum in order to get different results. The major mode of instruction is through Project Based Learning (PBL). It represents a new approach to learning in which teams of students are given a driving question or authentic problem that challenges them to find new information and apply it to real world situations. Check out our latest project as an example.
PBL enables higher level learning through recognition of the relevance of the content that students study. To accomplish this, the school features a 1:1 ratio of computers to students in a state-of-the-art facility.
Students maintain a Professional Portfolio of their work that includes evidence of meeting ten identified learning outcomes. Students also participate in regular exhibitions of their learning together with other student-colleagues who have collaborated with each other on projects.
Students learn better when they see real-world relevance! Check us out and see if you agree...
