One City High School

Through five learning domains (Communication Arts, Math, STEM: Science & Design, Artistic, Civic, & Global Engagement, and Life Readiness), scholars are assessed for mastery in a variety of foundational credits throughout their high school experience. Each trimester’s offered multidisciplinary seminars will assess a variety of foundational credits. 

Learning is a lifelong process, not an endpoint to be measured by a multiple choice exam. We believe that to learn deeply and enduringly, we need to truly experience the learning and grapple with the challenges. We keep our focus where it belongs: on persistence to mastery through the valuable process of feedback, reflection, and iteration. 

We strive to make school productive and useful as well as a true reflection of the real world. When our scholars encounter challenges, we want them to embrace the opportunity to try out solutions. We are preparing our scholars for a world we have not yet imagined and believe we can only do so by preparing them to be thinkers, collaborators, and risk takers. 

We are members of the Mastery Transcript Consortium, a growing network of public and private schools who are introducing a digital high school transcript that opens up opportunity for each and every student — from all backgrounds, locations, and types of schools — to have their unique strengths, abilities, interests, and histories fostered, understood, and celebrated.
