What is GearUp Academy?
What is GearUp Academy?
GearUp Academy is a non-traditional high school that provides opportunities for students to cultivate a growth mindset and develop the social and emotional skills needed to succeed. The program balances the curriculum with authentic experiences in recognizing opportunities, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication skills, and entrepreneurial thinking. Under our guidance, students will:
Earn their high school diplomas.
Participate in the startup and operation of a business or develop and implement a social action project to drive positive changes in the community.
Be employed by a local business partner.
Upon receipt of the diploma, students will be equipped to launch their own business ventures, to enter the workforce, to move onto higher education, or to change the world as they best see fit.
GROWTH MINDSET
EMPATHY
ACTION
RESPONSIBILITY
****
Growth Mindset:
The belief that we can grow and better ourselves every day and that intelligence, aptitude, and resilience are not something that are fixed at birth. A necessary ingredient of Growth Mindset is a willingness to make the effort required for a life of learning.
Empathy:
Awareness of the feelings and emotions of other people. Empathy goes far beyond sympathy, which might be considered ‘feeling for’ someone. Empathy, instead, is ‘feeling with’ that person, through the use of imagination.
Action:
Doing what’s required to achieve our goals. Sam did not use his Progeria as an excuse for inaction. Instead, he overcame barriers and was an active leader at school and in his community.
Responsibility:
The willingness to take on and fulfill obligations that contribute to the betterment of our community as well as ourselves.
Each GEAR will be defined and explained through real-life examples, as well as discussed and practiced by students through various activities. When used together, these components provide the GEARs that will start the process of building true leaders.
