Partnership
One of the first questions we are asked is, "What exactly is the Partnership?"
The Partnership is a welcome resource for any family looking for an innovative way to support the education of their child. We partner with experts in the community to provide unique and interesting courses and opportunities. These virtual courses with an optional application are funded by the Gibraltar School District, meaning little or no cost to families. We partner with local businesses, renting their space to hold these application opportunities that support the virtual coursework.
All students in grades K-12 (full-time or part-time) are welcome to enroll with the partnership. Students can take part in weekly applications offered within the community that coincide with their virtual course work. Some of these virtual courses with application include:
- Animation
- Swimming
- Sewing
- Tinkering
- Babysitting
- Archery
- Horsemanship
- Life Skills
- Music
- Forensics
- Earth Exploration
- Photography
- Art
- Dance
- Yarnology
- Gymnastics
- Cooking
- And so many more!
The applications of these virtual courses meet weekly throughout the school year; September through May. Most applications are held at the hub--St. Mary's of Rockwood School on Wednesdays, and some are community applications, held in various business locations.
We have a wide variety of virtual courses with applications to choose from for the 2020-2021 school year! Would you like to know more about each class? Please check out our 2020-2021 course guide.
The Partnership optional applications meets from September - May. There are two semesters, each containing 18 weeks. Here is our 2020-2021 Calendar.
