Polaris' secondary program is a public choice school program within Poudre School District serving students in grades 6-12. Through the national model of Expeditionary Learning (EL) we strive to nurture our student’s unique abilities so that they can grow to their fullest potential. Unique to the Polaris secondary program is the school-wide focus on inquiry-based learning, Fieldwork experiences, Intensive Weeks, Adventure trips, the development of student portfolios, Presentations of Learning, standards-based grading, and an overall small school setting where teachers get to know their students well.
