CURRICULUM: CLEAR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) AND FUTURE PLANNING OBJECTIVES ARE BUILT INTO OUR CURRICULUM, ARE INCORPORATED INTO ALL PS ACTIVITIES AND ARE DELIVERED BY PROFESSIONAL AND DIVERSE STAFF CALLED "FACILITATORS," WHO LEAD MONTHLY ACTIVITIES CALLED "WORKSHOPS" FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL IN EVERY ENGLISH, SPECIAL EDUCATION (SPED) AND ENGLISH LEARNER (EL) CLASSROOM FOR EACH STUDENT IN EVERY SCHOOL. EACH FACILITATOR IS REGULARLY TRAINED IN CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING.


ARTS: PS' ARTS PROGRAMMING DEMONSTRATES THE POWER OF THEATER AND ARTS TO INSPIRE, BUILDS COMMUNITY, ACTS AS A SPRINGBOARD FOR DISCUSSION AND ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO TELL THEIR OWN STORIES. MORE THAN 40 TWIN CITIES PROFESSIONAL THEATER PARTNERS DONATE TICKETS TO US, WHICH WE THEN USE TO CURATE EXPERIENCES AT NO COST TO STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND TEACHERS. WE PLAN LARGE-SCALE SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS AND INVITE STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO DOZENS OF EVENING/WEEKEND PERFORMANCES ANNUALLY. WE ALSO WORK WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PRODUCE AND PERFORM A LARGE-SCALE MUSICAL AT THEIR SCHOOL EACH YEAR AND OFFER OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO CREATE THEATER PERFORMANCES.


EXPEDITIONS - EXPEDITIONS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO SEE A PART OF THE WORLD THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE OR SEE SOMETHING FAMILIAR IN A NEW WAY, BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND OPENING NEW DOORS FOR THEIR FUTURE. THEY EMPOWER STUDENTS TO CREATE ACTIONABLE, INFORMED PLANS FOR THEIR FUTURES, AND HAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON INCREASING STUDENTS' ACADEMIC MOTIVATION. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE LOCAL AND REGIONAL COLLEGE AND CAREER TOURS, LOCAL OUTDOOR ADVENTURE DAYS, MULTI-DAY WILDERNESS EXPERIENCES, AND TRAVEL TO GLOBAL CITIES IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES FOR EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXPLORATION.


CERTIFICATES: THE PROJECT SUCCESS INSTITUTE LAUNCHED ITS CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN 2018, WHERE WE OFFER CERTIFICATES OF LEARNING IN SUBJECTS SUCH AS CODING, FINANCE, COOKING THE ARTS AND OTHER SUBJECTS. THESE 10-WEEK COURSES GIVE STUDENTS DEDICATED TIME OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS TO EXPLORE POTENTIAL CAREER PATHS AND BUILD SKILLS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO ENTER ADULTHOOD AND THE WORKFORCE AFTER GRADUATION WITH CONFIDENCE AND SKILLS NEEDED FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING. THEY CULMINATE IN A CERTIFICATION FROM PROJECT SUCCESS, WHICH STUDENTS CAN USE TO BOOST THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS AND RESUMES.
