"Knowing is not enough; We must apply. Willing is not enough; We must do." –Bruce Lee
High school students work in a more open project-based format with a personal learning plan. All the activities and learning students do in high school accumulate credit toward graduation. As a project-based school, the high school uses multiple learning modes including, long term projects, community service learning, seminars, blended online learning tools, expeditionary learning, adventure-based learning, internships, and community partnerships and mentors. Students work in an environment where they are in control of their own schedules and partner with staff on learning plans and projects.

The biggest difference when it comes to credit is that at Wildlands students earn their credits in a project-based learning format and these areas are not formal sit down classes. Therefore, choice and interest can guide even the core required area projects. Students often do projects that result in earning credit in more than one academic area as projects are not often in just one subject and are of a multidisciplinary nature and community-based.
