Through a powerful curriculum, the 180º Program provides the opportunity and educational framework for middle school and high school youth to fully develop their internal compass so they can develop healthy goals based upon a foundation of strong personal values, reflective and critical thinking skills, and social awareness and responsibility.

The world that middle school and high school youth will inherit in the 21st century is filled with opportunity and hope. It is a world of global economies, rich diversity and ethnicity, advanced technological achievement, and rewarding career opportunities. The world also presents significant challenges and new issues that today’s youth will confront as adults. The American society of the 21st century will require youth to achieve specialized credentials and skills to be most successful in life. Specifically, youth will be required to successfully obtain post secondary education degrees or other specialized credentials to qualify for a secure family wage career in the 21st century global workplace and economy. The importance of successfully completing a quality K-12 educational experience is higher today than at any other time so that youth can go on to complete additional specialized education.

In addition to high academic standards, youth will also require full development of character and life skills to more effectively navigate as highly productive and fulfilled individuals in our communities. And to ensure that youth stay the course while in school, opportunities for character and social emotional learning is essential in addition to high academic standards.
