Suites Overview

Suites from Pitsco Education utilize a patented process for learning and applying core content skills in a real-world context. Simply put, Pitsco Education Suites help bring relevance to the lessons high school students are learning every day.

Suites place both student and curriculum in a real-world setting with real-world expectations. Students apply what they learn, work as a team, employ problem solving, and demonstrate newly acquired leadership skills. And when combined with core content acquisition, Suites offer students a giant step towards success on whatever career paths they may follow.

The Suite Experience

Knowledge, Teamwork, Application, and Presentation represent the four intervals a Suite Team experiences during each nine-week period. In Interval 1, the team is provided with a knowledge base to apply during the rest of the Suite. Interval 2 presents the team with a topic-related challenge that the team solves using resources provided in the Suite. During Interval 3, the Suite Team applies knowledge gained in the first interval to come up with a solution to the challenge outlined in Interval 2. With the completion of Interval 3, students prepare and deliver a presentation in Interval 4 that outlines the team's solution and serves as proof of their learning experience.
