Our ModSchool Marketplace Program is a video-based curriculum for asynchronous, virtual learners who want an authentic, hands-on learning experience. Marketplace Projects empower middle and high school students to master academic content, create robust portfolios, and earn hours for homeschooling and independent study.

Students develop professional skills and master academic content as they navigate the core elements of our video courses.
Students master academic content in order to create final products that they exhibit to an authentic audience within their community.
Our video courses prepare students in ways that extend beyond the classroom.
Collaboration, community networking and a
culture of innovation help students develop critical skills that will benefit them
academically, personally, and professionally.
Students delve into real world problems through inquiry
Students research stake-holders and contributing factors
Students design and test solutions using available resources
Students create a final product that impacts their community
Students offset carbon emissions by creating sustainable jewelry from cardboard. They research municipal solid waste trends (MSW), investigate the science of decomposition, and explore the cultural, political, and historical contributing factors of municipal solid waste.
Students advocate for an issue within their community through letter writing to local government organizations and online activism. With research of prominent writers of the Civil Rights Movement, students explore the impact that writing can have on a generation culturally, politically, and historically.
In Game Design for Inclusion, students examine bias in media as they craft a retro style RPG that aligns with their personal definition of Inclusion. They research video game culture and build both coding and ELA skills as they practice digital storytelling.
Students seek truth from data, while learning how to analyze statistics and make predictions and inferences based on survey results. They build math, communication, and tech skills as they distribute their own survey, analyze the survey data, and then craft and present two different stories based on the results.
Students explore math and the visual arts by designing a three dimensional maze while studying pop art and identity. They master translations, rotations and reflections in order to prototype a scaled drawing for a collective drawing. Students create a three-dimensional maze that demonstrates their identity, and propose an installation plan in a public space.
