THE SCHOOL HAS TWO SITES, ONE IN GREENVILLE, SC AND THE OTHER IN SALEM, SC. BEING A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL THE SCHOOL SERVES THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT AREA. THE GREENVILLE CAMPUS HAS A MIXED-RACE DEMOGRAPHIC OF STUDENTS WHO ARE ENERGIZED BY A CURRICULUM WHEREBY THE STUDENT HAS TO TAKE CO-OWNERSHIP IN ORDER TO SUCCEED. THE SALEM CAMPUS IS COMPRISED PRIMARILY OF RURAL, ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED FAMILIES WHO WANT THIER CHILDREN EDUCATED LOCALLY WITH THE HOPE THAT THEIR CHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO BECOME UPWARDLY MOBILE. THE CURRICULUM IS BASED ON A CONCEPT KNOWN AS IMPACT-BASED LEARNING THROUGH THE TENNANTS OF INTEREST, INQUIRY AND IMPACT. IMPACT-BASED LEARNING IS SIMILAR TO PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN THAT STUDENTS MAKE A PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF WHAT THEY LEARN IN CLASS; HOWEVER, WITH IMPACT-BASED LEARNING THE STUDENT'S CORE STUDIES AND ELECTIVES ARE RESOURCES THAT HELP DRIVE ALONG AN INTEREST, THROUGH ACADEMIC AND PRACITCAL INQUIRY, INTO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE COMMUNITY IMPACT, SUCH AS A BUSINESS, NONPROFIT, OR COMMUNITY PROJECT. IN MANY CASES STUDENTS WILL HAVE CREATED THEIR OWN EMPLOYMENT BEFORE GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL. OTHER STUDENTS WILL CONTINUE REFINING THEIR INTEREST AS THEY MOVE INTO HIGHER EDUCATION.
