OUR APPROACH
Transforming School Culture: Our 3-Pillar Model
At 12+, we believe in creating school cultures that drive success. Our model focuses on three key areas:
Plus Centers
PLUS Centers are the heart of our work, offering students access to vital college, career, and academic resources. These hubs provide a safe space for students to explore their interests and get the support they need to achieve their goals, both in high school and beyond.
BELIEVE + ACT + INSPIRE
