Sunshine State Academy K-12 (SSA) is an independent private school in Florida that focuses on non-traditional and remote learning as well as home education. SSA is Directed by Dr. Chrysalis Wright, a developmental psychologist and homeschool parent. SSA believes that learning should be student led and designed to meet the unique needs of each individual student. SSA emphasizes that learning takes place when intrinsic motivation is fostered and hands-on, experiential opportunities are emphasized. Receiving this grant will allow SSA to provide free and low-cost science based experiential learning opportunities to our community.
Experiential Learning engages students through hands-on experiences and reflection, connecting classroom knowledge to real-world applications, and NSHSS is awarding two (2) $1,000 grants to high school educators to support such opportunities.
