PPHS Englewood: Free School, Unlimited Opportunities
Where Innovation Meets Community
Personalized Learning with Purpose
Every student at PPHS Englewood earns full credit in every required course. What makes our model unique is how those credits are earned.
Students learn through:
Project-based experiences that make academic content meaningful
Passion projects that let students explore their interests
Real-world applications that turn lessons into action
For example, a student studying geometry may use those concepts to help build a wheelchair-accessible ramp for a local resident. Another may study civics, then visit the statehouse to advocate for an issue they care about. Learning here is active, connected, and built around student goals.
State of the Art Facilities
Our campus features spaces that are designed to support creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
Highlights include:
