[quote=Anonymous]In reference to free or available club opportunities mentioned upthread, here is a recent email from middle school principal.

Dear families,
 
Adolescence is a time when young people begin to look outwards, beyond their family and classroom, and wonder what it's like in the "real world."
 
At Inspired, we're always looking for ways to harness that outward-facing curiosity. Every day, our teachers work hard to infuse their curriculum with experiential learning--like baking a cake in Spanish, popping paint-filled gravity balloons in science, or being "removed" from their social studies classroom.
 
Starting this month, we'd also like to offer students the opportunity to learn in the "real world" by signing up for one of our new Real World Learning (RWL) experiences. Please note that participating students must get permission from teachers to participate, and are responsible for keeping up with missed classwork.
