New Visions courses are designed for motivated, accelerated, college-bound seniors. Students accepted into this program must be in good academic standing with an excellent attendance record.
The course is for high-potential senior students who want a high school capstone experience in:
• Teamwork and leadership
• Communication skills
• Research skills
• Creative problem-solving skills, and
• Entrepreneurship.
Class sizes are typically 15 or fewer students, all like-minded high achievers who wish to explore hands-on learning in innovation, leadership and business.
NVILB gives these high-achievers a collegial environment with greater freedom and responsibilities than a traditional classroom setting. In addition to instruction, students will be encouraged to pursue business ideas/careers of their own. The class also includes several multi-week cooperative/job shadowing experiences at community businesses, and a field trip to New York City.
