For the Gazette
STEVENS POINT – Point of Discovery School, a public charter school within the Stevens Point Area Public School District, is now accepting enrollment applications for students in grades 7-12 for the 2022-23 school year.
PoDS offers project-based learning grounded in expeditionary learning program principles and will for the first year, offer a Point of Discovery School diploma to the inaugural graduating class in 2023. “We are excited to be able to share what PoDS is about with students that might benefit from this type of educational model,” said Dan Lathrop, principal.
In its seventh year, PoDS has expanded from 50 students grades 6-8, to a 7-12 high school with an enrollment of 125 students and is proud to be the first public charter high school in Portage County, noted Lathrop.
“We do school a little differently here through project-based learning, and we find that we are a good fit for students who are independent, creative, and want to think outside the box.”
Families and students who are interested in learning more about the school are encouraged to reach out directly or visit their online home.
PoDS enrollment is open to all students entering grades 7 -12 for the 2022-23 school year. More information is available at www.PointSchools.net/PointofDiscovery.
