Why Work-based Learning?
Samueli Academy has made a multi-year investment in a promising approach to high school education called Work-based Learning (WBL). This approach connects strong academics with real-world experience in a wide range of fields, such as engineering, arts and media, science, and technology.
Our WBL program helps students apply what they learn in the classroom to the world of work, contributing to higher graduation rates, increased college enrollment and higher earning potential.
