Empower Generation is passionate about personalized learning, offering customizable options for high schoolers to satisfy graduation requirements. Under the guidance of an educational facilitator, counselor, and college advisor, high schoolers create a standards-based individualized learning plan (ILP) that encompasses a mix of tutoring, flexible a-g curriculum options, and online courses to support their college and career goals. Instructional funds are used to support and enhance each learner’s individualized learning plan.
Our dedicated, caring and highly qualified staff will partner with your family to plan, advise, and encourage throughout the high school years. Each month, the educational facilitator will work with the family to develop meaningful, standards-based assignments using the learner’s passions/interests, curriculum and educational activities. Families meet with their educational facilitator every 20 days to share all learning activities and assignments from their individualized learning plans. Work samples are collected for every subject, and parents will sign activity logs to verify student engagement.
iLEAD Exploration also values community, providing opportunities to foster friendships through a variety of activities including ASB, National Honor Society, field studies, service projects, webinars, enrichment activities, and other social gatherings. Once learners fulfill their graduation requirements, they may participate in our end-of-the-year graduation ceremony.
Our Paths
High school should be a time of discovery, curiosity, critical thinking and creativity. Our high school options allow learners the flexibility to pursue their interests and passions as they explore college and career interests.
1. Customized Track
Learners who choose customized instruction follow a flexible plan that is developed with the parent, high school counselor and educational facilitator. The customized path includes a variety of course options and requires 180-240 credits to graduate depending upon your learner’s passions and goals.
2. A-G Track
Learners who are planning on directly attending a University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU) are required to complete specific UC Admissions Requirements during their high school experience. These a-g requirements may be met with iLEAD in a variety of ways. Check with your educational facilitator for additional a-g and AP courses that are approved for our program. This track requires 240 credits to graduate.
