3DE

SPPS and Junior Achievement North Partner on Innovative 3DE Program

 

Starting in 2024-25, all ninth-grade students at Como Senior and Washington High Schools will participate in 3DE programming by Junior Achievement North. Students will participate in project-based learning and case studies while being coached by professionals from several national and local case partners. 3DE will expand to Harding High School starting in 2025-26.

3DE by Junior Achievement is an innovative high school curriculum that brings professionals from high-demand industries into the classroom for project-based learning and case studies. Through this partnership, SPPS is furthering our district goal of strengthening career-related curriculum in our high schools. These experiential learning opportunities will enhance our students’ abilities to connect what they’re doing in the classroom with real-world concepts.

3DE is supported with generous funding from organizations including WEM Foundation, Securian Financial, Thrivent, Cargill and Great Clips. JA North is actively identifying additional funding partners to help sustain and grow 3DE in St. Paul and beyond.
