How do you think your kids would do in a school like this?

One Stone School in Boise is unlike any other school in this area, the students have a lot more control over their lessons than teachers.

There’s no syllabus at the beginning of the year and the students dictate which courses they take based on their interests. There are no textbooks.

Their teachers aren't called teachers either. They're called Academic Coaches and Advisors instead. The biggest difference is, they don't give grades!

Instead, students get feedback and all of their work goes into an online portfolio and that's what colleges will see come senior year.

One of the students said when you’re really interested in what you're learning, you want to get the work done.

One Stone has students attending from all over the Treasure Valley and they also offer after-school programs. Both the school and those programs are free of charge.
