Hayden Canyon Charter (HCC) is focused on elevating student achievement and engagement through project based, hands-on learning that tackles real-word challenges, and develops habits of mind for inquiry, creative, critical and innovative thinking. HCC embraces a holistic approach to learning that harnesses the creative catalyst within the arts and humanities, while also capturing discovery in the sciences and igniting the spark that fuels student engagement and investment in lifelong learning. Students build a cadre of skills for success, characteristics for achievement and fulfillment in life and work, and an ethic of excellence in the quality of work they create.
