Work-Based Learning (WBL) is a proactive approach to bridging the gap between high school and post-secondary opportunities. Students build on classroom-based instruction to develop employability skills that prepare them for success in future endeavors. Through experiences like internships and cooperative education, juniors and seniors at least 16 years of age may earn high school credit for capstone WBL experiences. Students may also opt for an SBE (School Based Enterprise), as an opportunity to work with their teacher instead of peer tutoring. WBL students are required to maintain 90% school attendance to remain in the WBL Program. WBL is offered all blocks of the school day.
