Spectrum
Three teachers deliver the curriculum, while encouraging close relationships among students, and between students and teachers. Subjects are delivered in large blocks of time. Independent studies, special projects and hands-on-learning form much of the learning day.
Students enroll through a written application process, open across the school board (T.D.S.B.). A lottery then determines the names of all successful candidates.
