Revolution Independent Study (RIS)

with their Cornerstone Advisor, students have the freedom to develop a question, choose a partner, and engage in an immersion week of work in the last quarter of their Senior Year.

Through the Cornerstone Project, students leave Revolution with an immersive, personalized experience in which they can demonstrate their complexity of thought about their chosen topic, both during the proposal phase, as they execute the project and as they reflect with partners.

The Financial Literacy Master Class Series is designed to develop citizens who have the knowledge and skills to make sound, informed financial decisions that will allow them to lead financially secure lives and understand personal financial responsibility. The knowledge gained in this course will have far-reaching effects for students personally as well as the economy as a whole. When citizens make wise financial decisions, they gain opportunities to invest in themselves, build businesses, consume goods and services in a responsible way, and secure a future without depending on outside assistance.

Our mission is to improve the lives of young people by teaching students to navigate a complicated world through mental models in order to consistently make high-quality decisions. FCS brings immersive mental models to the people who need it most– students who are working to make sense of the world around them. Equipped with these mental models, students can question their reality and begin to make decisions for themselves, understand consequences, and ultimately move forward with confidence.

Revolution’s Community Service Program encourages all students to connect with the greater community, giving them the opportunity to engage with a variety of people outside the students' immediate world.

The Revolution Independent Study (RIS) allows high school students to pursue knowledge that is not offered in an existing course and with less supervision than is provided in a regular classroom setting. Successful completion of an independent study generally results in credit toward graduation.

Our program is holistic. Revolution School uses multiple aspects of the program to support education and practice around healthy decisions. In the Advisory Program, students engage in a curriculum designed to support their emotional, psychological, and social health. Our Wellness course teaches mindfulness and drives the physical education program.

Ultimately, this approach to health is all about teaching students to think for themselves, arming them with the ability to make considered decisions about everything relating to their own mind, body, and spirits. The School teaches students to make healthy life choices inside and outside the classroom, setting them up for a lifetime of autonomy and success.

Illness & Accidents Parents are obligated and required to report communicable illness to school personnel.

The school will continue to follow CDC guidelines on Covid-19.

Should your child develop symptoms of illness during the school day, you will be contacted by Revolution School personnel. A doctor’s note may be requested to document treatment and medical clearance prior to returning to school. When a child returns to school after an illness, he or she must be able to fully participate in the program; this includes participating in physical activities and going outside.

In the event your child is injured, we will notify you by phone. It is essential that we have on file for each child a current local emergency phone number and that someone be available to pick up a sick or injured child, if necessary. In the case of a true medical emergency, the school will call 911 first and then notify parents.

Medications

A parent/guardian or a responsible adult designated by the parent/guardian should deliver all medications to the school. The medication must be in the original pharmacy-labeled container, and a Medication Authorization Form must be completed and signed by both the parent/guardian and the prescribing physician. School personnel will store and secure all medications. Students are not permitted to carry medications in school without prior approval from authorized school personnel. It may be appropriate for some students to carry life-saving medications with them during the school day. A student may carry a life-saving medication after demonstrating proper use and receiving prior approval from the school.

The school encourages parent(s)/guardian(s) to work with healthcare providers to consider adjusting dosage time(s) of routine medication to minimize administration during the school day. An Emergency Care Plan (ECP) will be completed collaboratively by the school and parent(s)/guardian(s) when appropriate. It is essential that families communicate with the appropriate school personnel about any specific healthcare circumstances.

Health Forms

The Health History and Permission Form is required annually for every student in every grade. Parents or guardians of students enrolled should complete and return this form to the school as soon as possible and no later than their child’s first day of school.

The Student Physical Assessment Form is required of every student in every grade and is due annually on the anniversary date of the last physical examination. New students should submit this form upon enrollment or prior to their first day of school. Parents or guardians are responsible for submitting this form complete with a healthcare provider’s signature in a timely manner. Failure to comply may result in exclusion from school or school activities.

Immunization records are mandatory upon enrollment. Parents are responsible for contacting their child’s doctor to request a copy of their child’s immunization record at the time of enrollment or at the time of their child’s physical examination. Should a parent defer immunizations for their child for medical, religious, or moral reasons, the parent/guardian and their physician must complete and sign a note of refusal and return this note to Administration.

Additional health forms may be required depending upon individual health care needs. When appropriate, the school will notify parents/guardians to discuss these.
