A PURDUE POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL
PPHS LAB: A Microschool for Big Thinkers
Where Innovation Meets Individuality
At PPHS LAB, we believe that education should be as unique as each student. Our micro-school model offers a personalized, rigorous, and semi-directed learning environment that empowers students to explore their passions and prepare for the future.
Tailored Academic Experience
Every student at PPHS LAB earns full credit in all required courses, just like at any traditional high school. What sets us apart is our approach to learning:
Customized Schedules: Students work with their advisory coaches to create schedules that align with their interests and goals.
Personalization: Students experience the benefits of personalization in a homeschool-like setting while also having access to the academic rigor of a traditional school.
Interest-Based Learning: Students participate in real-world, interest-based learning experiences that bring academic content to life while fostering ethical understanding and strengthening resilience.
College Credit Opportunities: Students can earn college credits while still in high school, saving time and money on their post-secondary education.
Real-World Experiences
At PPHS LAB, students explore the dynamic fields of radio and broadcasting through real-world experiences. These opportunities help students strengthen communication and build a confident professional presence that is relevant across all post-secondary experiences.
With support from both on-site resources and off-site industry partners, students are immersed in authentic learning experiences that reinforce classroom learning. This seamless connection between academic content and industry practice deepens their understanding and hones practical skills.
As a result, students are well-prepared for college, future careers, and success in today’s media-driven world.
Supportive Community Environment
Our small school size fosters a close-knit community where every student is known and supported. Each student is paired with an advisory coach and a group of peers, providing consistent guidance and a sense of belonging. We emphasize open communication, mutual respect, and the understanding that mistakes are part of the learning process.
