Invictus has curated a rigorous, culturally responsive, standards-aligned curriculum that prepares students for success in college. Students are required to complete the A-G course requirements to graduate high school, which ensure they are eligible to apply to UC/CSU schools. In addition, students have the option to take a variety of AP courses and take part in a personalized learning period, advisory, and electives.
Invictus implements a school-wide positive behavior intervention system (PBIS), which teachers and staff are trained to implement during 3 weeks of professional development before the school year starts. We have developed a library of restorative assignments and exercises that students complete when they breach school wide expectations, and our Dean’s Office works with students to help them learn and grow from mistakes, all while celebrating students when they make good choices. Finally, we place huge emphasis on parent communication, including calling families to share good news (not just constructive feedback).
Invictus values communication with parents. The school sends a weekly report home with students so that parents are informed about their child’s progress and hosts multiple forums for parents to offer input and partner with school staff. Invictus also believes in helping students grow their non-academic skills and offers electives, where teachers teach students an activity of interest to them (e.g., basketball, yoga, chess, and more).
Invictus partners with the CDPH to implement the latest best practices. Invictus is providing in-person instruction. All high-touch services are sanitized on a daily basis. We have a largely outdoor campus; all transitions and lunch are outdoors. We have masks available for students and staff who desire to wear one.
