       To be an adventure student is to work to your best ability to prepare yourself for high school, college, and to set yourself up to life. You do this by learning about the world and it's past in history while you write an essay about the same thing in language arts. You could be building something to benefit people in engineering and then calculate its cost, profit, and dimensions in math. In Adventure, a student participates in projects that are connected between classes and subjects, is taught by teachers who collaborate and plan all their lessons based on the students and then talk about their plans and connect them during meetings.

      In adventure, you are expected to work to the best of your ability and talk to your teachers if you are having trouble keeping up so that they can help you catch up to your class. If you are struggling in a lesson, try and ask your teacher to rephrase what they are teaching you and tell them what part of the lesson you aren't understanding. The teacher's job is to help you learn and, unlike some schools, collaborating with each other is their job so that the students, you get to actually learn. This, however, does not mean that you do not have to take initiative. If you are struggling behind and don't tell the teacher so they can help you, they won't know that you need help and will just continue teaching, leaving you behind in confusion.

      In adventure, there are a lot of projects, about ten a year at least, and pretty much all of them intertwine with other classes. This is because in the real world, you can't just build a 4,000,000 story hotel, you need to take cost of building, hiring the thousands and thousands of workers, the time it would take to build, the cost to buy the plot of land, the support to keep it standing, etc. The projects in adventure are a fair lot of your grade, so if that is all you care about, you need to be very comfortable with doing a lot of projects instead of loads of homework and lessons.

       Speaking of grades, they are not the most important thing in adventure. In adventure, the most important thing you need to remember is that an adventure students highest priority is not their grade, but their learning. When you come to adventure, there are many things that may put your grade down, and some may make it sky rocket, but the important thing is that you learn because if you learn, you can pass the tests you are sometimes given and you can get those good-grade giving assignments done well and correctly, teaching you and giving you a good grade. Bottom line, grades are not everything. 

       In adventure, your grades can be a roller coaster, or they can be as flat as the floor. You will experience projects replacing tests and homework, and these projects will teach you about more than one subject. You will get an experience where you can tell a teacher that you are falling behind and they will help you get caught up. The most important thing is that you learn and get prepared for high school, college, and life because that is what it means to be an adventure student.
