18 Aug Connection & Contribution
We’re not your typical high school. The School for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SET High) encourages our high school students to find their hidden passions because embracing everyone’s uniqueness is part of our MO.
SET High is a WASC-accredited, tuition-free public charter high school in San Diego with a 12:1 student to teacher ratio. Our unique electives, passion projects, and hands-on learning style make SET High the ideal learning environment for 9th – 12th grade students to gain scholastic and emotional intelligence, and to fully realize that everyone has something to offer.
You’re Simply The Best
Here at SET we believe every one of our students has unique talents and hidden passions. Our campus culture of inclusion and compassion inspires students to find and develop into their best selves…while achieving academic excellence. We find that once students’ uncover their true passion and potential, they are much more engaged and personally invested in their own individualized learning journey. They also learn compassion and understanding.
It’s our role as educators to lead by example. We too share our passions through the unique electives we create and teach, and we devote extraordinary time and energy to encourage and support every student on their personal course of self discovery. Together, we teach each other how we can overcome obstacles, work smart, learn from failures, and never give up.
Contribution & Connection, Connection & Contribution
We learn a lot about ourselves when we work with others. While we support students to uncover their hidden passions, we embrace their uniqueness and we might find we have things in common. This gets amplified when we bring in speakers to help illuminate and inspire our students. Through our passion projects and service-learning, everyone on campus finds their positive purpose as a member of society. At SET we believe it’s important to teach these life and entrepreneurial skills necessary to be successful in anything and everything after high school. We call these the H-P requirements, as in, going beyond the standard A-G.
