D.C. Everest Idea School is a student-directed, project-based charter school in the D.C. Everest School District, Weston, Wisconsin, United States.[1]
In 2011, four educators within the D.C. Everest School District established a new school by signing a charter, which aimed to create an alternative approach to teaching. The founding concept of the school centered on fostering a "self-directed environment" intended to cultivate the "next generation of leaders and workers." The primary teaching method adopted by the school is project-based learning, wherein students primarily engage in independent projects to earn academic credits.
