A Public School Dedicated to Academic and Artistic Excellence

PVPA is a regional public charter school serving 400 students grades 7-12, from over 60 towns throughout Western Massachusetts. We seek to connect the creative process with critical thinking to inspire a love of learning. As a charter school, the work we do informs educational policy at local, state and national levels.

The Portfolio Component

  • Print

In all language arts classes 7 – 12, students keep running files of their completed work in the classroom. These files are the responsibility of the students to organize and maintain. At the end of each unit, quarter, and/or semester, these files are organized into unit files and end of semester portfolios.

Students choose a selection of their best work to revise (one more time!) for submission into a permanent portfolio. Upon graduation, students can collect the portfolio submissions from grades 7 – 12 for their reading pleasure.
