***Kreiva Academy Public Charter School, Manchester, NH

Kreiva Academy is an urban charter school located in Manchester, NH. The Kreiva educational philosophy is rooted in learning that meets students where they are at in their academic journey. To this end, Kreiva Academy uses the project approach to design highly experiential learning experiences that support students' interests and abilities to meet rigorous standards. Kreiva uses a competency-based approach to education which provides students with a multitude of opportunities to demonstrate proficiency across disciplines and empowers students to more effectively manage their own learning journey. Many of our students have not found academic success in traditional public schools and come to Kreiva seeking more student-centered approaches to learning. Kreiva provides a welcoming and supportive community to students seeking a non-traditional school program where they can meet their potential for the learner they seek to be. Goodwill NNE's Granite State Education Corps places AmeriCorps members with nonprofits to support youth (grades 4-12) that have been impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Many of these youth suffer from trauma due to instability in the home which makes it challenging to succeed in school (both socially and academically). Members take a “whole child” approach, implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) practices, mentoring youth, engaging families, and supporting youth through in-school and in after-school programming that increases resilience, develops human capital, and ultimately increases self-sufficiency of the youth. Flexible start and end dates. Full (1200-hour) AND part-time available.
