• The Center for 21st Center Skills uses rigorous,
standards based blended learning courses and virtual
learning tools to challenge and engage student
learners from grades 7-12.
• Recognized and funded by the National Science
Foundation (ATE/iTEST) and the US Department of
Education (i3) we serve over 1,500 students a year
through our Digital Arts and Sciences Academy.
• Anchored by our six critical 21st century
skills, our mission is to prepare students
for school, work, and life.
