The Envision Philosophy

We believe in the Power of Potential—the idea that all students have the power to live their dreams, make an impact, and change the world. While technological advances are reshaping career paths, they are creating new opportunities for students to explore their future.

Our career, technology, and leadership programs are designed to prepare students to turn their career and life aspirations into reality. Each program is developed by educators and subject-matter professionals and adheres to the five key beliefs of our instructional philosophy:

  1. Learning by doing breeds passion
  2. A variety of experiences is the spice of life
  3. Big, juicy questions drive deep thinking and leaps of learning
  4. Portable skills unlock the future
  5. Building and following a roadmap leads to achievement

Studies show that hands-on educational experiences foster critical thinking skills that positively impact students’ college acceptance and lead to a more successful and confident transition into life after college. Grounded firmly in research and best practices, every Envision program is deliberately designed to be immersive, fun, and create a life-long positive impact. Our programs follow the Envision Way, a three-tier curricular approach that includes the Academy, Lab, and Arena.
