United Charter High School for the Humanities

New Visions Charter High School for the Humanities (HUM) is part of the New Visions Charter High Schools' (NVCHS) network. NVCHS is a network of secondary schools dedicated to supporting all students in meeting the highest academic standards. We shift classroom dynamics from one where students receive information to one where students find solutions to community-defined problems by using their imagination coupled with a mastery of content and skills. We challenge our students to present and defend their learning as part of preparing and supporting them to graduate ready for college, careers and a 21st century economy. Teaching and learning in HUM, as in all New Visions Charter High Schools, is built upon the Lincoln Center Education Capacities for Imaginative Thinking, informed by challenge-based curricula that are aligned to the Common Core standards, applied to improving local communities and driven by student performance data.
