ynectics is for middle school students who prefer to learn in a project based, self-guided environment. Students choose a topics based on WI standards, then plan and complete projects which must meet or exceed the grade "Proficient". While teachers are available, they advise and consult with the students individually rather than instructing them as a group.
Many children are unable to learn well in a traditional learning environment. Synectics offers a much needed alternative.
Another great thing about Synectics is that it is a "School Within a School". There are two sites: one inside each Middle School in Beloit. This gives students the opportunity to participate in music, art, sports, and other activities and electives at the host school.
The great success of this school has created demand for HS students; the Charter is expanding in the Fall of 2007 to include 9th-10th grades at a location near (with access to) BMHS.
