VNS is an innovative, project-based charter school located in Appleton, Wisconsin. VNS provides a unique learning environment. No separate classrooms, but a large, open, business-like space. No rows of desks, but pods of workstations with easy access to technology. No 'teachers' but an advisor assigned to each group of approximately 16 students. No classes, but student-directed research projects......the curricular focus of the VNS model is rooted in the concept that each person is his/her own best teacher.
