Often, teachers take their classes on walking tours of the city to learn more about Louisville's government, business, and cultural connections. Students also get involved in a number of community-service activities and internships. Through community interaction and multi-age groups, students learn from their world as much as they learn from their books. There are no bells or buzzers between classes, which allows for flexible scheduling to meet a student's needs. Individualized instruction and career exploration opportunities also are provided.
Older students are often mentors to younger ones.
