Design Thinking
DT is a set of mindsets for approaching learning and solving problems. Here we identity problems, get inspired, develop ideas, empathize with the situation, and then create a solution. |
Elective classes driven by student interest because we value exploring individual passion, purpose, and play. Students of all ages are able to learn and share in interests outside usual subjects. |
The Forge is the center of learning where students create products that bring their classroom learning to life. Made up of five sections, the Forge applies students' current areas of study to advance knowledge of the core subject and job readiness. |
1/2 Day Wednesday
Wednesdays are half-days at VT. This provides planning, development, and collaboration time for teachers as well as gives students opportunities to be involved in offered community activities. |
Covey

Here students are given opportunity to lead on campus through positions of responsibility that allow student ownership at school. |
Student-Engaged Assessment
SLCs are a self-assessment for students allowing parents to hear from their child what they are learning and how they are developing.
MBG gives ownership of learning to the student by setting goals and tracking their progress towards learning targets. |

VT offers PreAP, AP, and Dual Credit courses within the student curriculum. At VT we give our students opportunities to graduate high school with college credit. |
100% Teachers GT/AP Certified
All teachers are required to be Gifted & Talented or Advance Placement Certified by the State of Texas to provide a challenging environment for each individual student. |
We believe that learning is done best by doing and experiencing. Here we have found that travel has the incredible power to change students' lives. |
