1. Consistently Excellent Teachers
One of the things that makes Invictus stand out from other high school options is our high quality teachers. Our teachers get over 250 hours of professional development in instruction, classroom culture and management, and operations training.
2. Safe, Structured, Joyful Culture
In our most recent survey, 98%+ of students and families said they feel Invictus is a safe school. We celebrate student successes and work with restorative practices to make student mistakes a growth experience.
3. Systems of Support
We have in-depth systems to support students in their courses, ensuring they learn and integrate the studied material. Our systems of support focus on academics as well as social and emotional learning, building trust, safety, and fostering meaningful relationships.
4. Personalized Learning
We have a robust Student Support Team which provides additional help to students who need it during class. Our students participate in a personalized learning period each day, during which they receive extra support in math and reading.
5. Rolling Admissions
We encourage families to reach out to us and explore enrollment options at Invictus. We understand that changing schools can be a challenge but we see first hand what a “right fit” school can do for a student that may not be thriving elsewhere. We will do everything we can to make your student’s school transition run smoothly.
6. Extracurriculars and Clubs
All of our teachers lead an extracurricular club, bringing their passions and personal interests to share with students. We believe students are enriched by participating in extracurricular activities therefore we include a Club Period in our school day so all students can participate in one.
7. Representative Teaching Staff
Many of the teachers and staff at Invictus grew up in the Richmond area and can relate to their students' experience both inside and outside of school. They look like our students or they may have a shared life experience as some of the students, both of which build a better foundation for relationships.
8. Invictus Family Meetings
We consider everyone at Invictus part of our family. On Friday afternoons, we gather in the outdoor courtyard for our “Family Meeting” -- a weekly celebration to honor one student from each grade and one staff member. A student is nominated and voted through by staff based on anything from academic success, achieving a specific goal, demonstrated effort, or emotional / personal growth.
9. Parent Partnership
We believe in frequent communication with parents. Our staff reaches out to parents with both positive and constructive calls to inform them about their student’s progress. Each week, we send home a report for parents with grades, behavior data, and a personal note to ensure that parents are up to date on their child’s performance at school.
10. Rigorous Academics and Extended Day
Our school’s North Star is academic achievement, and we believe in purposeful structure to support students’ academic growth. We have selected curricula used by the top performing schools in the country, and adapt it to meet our students where they are. We offer an extended school day (8:30am - 3:45pm) so students can access and master rigorous content as well as participate in an extracurricular club while in school.
A Place To Belong
As a public school, we are open to all students regardless of income level, previous academic performance, and/or special needs. There is no tuition, entrance exam, or other admissions requirements.
