FOUNDED ON INNOVATIVE AND STUDENT-CENTERED PRINCIPLES, STUDENTS AT JENNINGS LEARN THROUGH A VARIETY OF WAYS ALWAYS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL PEOPLE LEARN THINGS DIFFERENTLY. ALL STUDENTS HAVE DIFFERENT INTERESTS AND LIFE PATHS. SCHOOLS LIKE JENNINGS WORK TO CUSTOMIZE INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL LEARNING PLANS FOR ALL STUDENTS. THE SCHOOL IS ORGANIZED THROUGH THE USE OF ADVISORIES. TEACHERS TAKE ON THE ROLE OF AN ADVISOR. SIMPLY PUT, AN ADVISOR IS A FACILITATOR OF LEARNING, A MANAGER, AN ASSESSOR, A CHALLENGER, A COACH, AND A PLANNER.
