Overview Paragraph

At Morris Academy for Collaborative Studies our students learn by doing. Our staff connects with students, parents, and community partners to build and refine a framework that supports the whole student as we put students first. Our students work collaboratively and take charge of their learning while developing into creative problem-solvers who will lead by example and thrive in college, career, and community endeavors. The most effective way to achieve our vision is through projects-based learning, a series of data-informed, student-centered initiatives that meet student needs, and socio-emotional support for students. Projects increase academic rigor for students and provides opportunities for instruction to be relevant to studentsÂ’ lives.
