Increase student success. Grow your community.
GPS Education Partners forms strategic partnerships with school districts to provide immersive, work-based learning to high school juniors and seniors. Our innovative education model is rooted in an immersive learning environment that’s aligned to business, industry and post-secondary standards. The partnerships we form with schools and businesses provide technical career pathways for students after high school that lead to fulfilling and valuable careers.
Hands-on learning. A blended approach.
When partnering with us, high schools recommend students who are interested in hands-on learning, STEM and/or technical fields of study. By combining relevant classwork with real work experience, we accommodate students with different learning needs and instill a sense of purpose. This helps increase graduation ratios and work-readiness rates in local communities.
Leverage our extensive partner base
We leverage relationships with curriculum vendors to provide students with necessary resources to advance personal growth, educational outcomes and work-based development. These resources provide a holistic approach to student development.

Smarter career planning
By moving away from the “one size fits all” traditional education model, schools will be able to offer students more effective career planning. By connecting passion and purpose with real work experience, students build their portfolio and hard and soft skills, getting direct access to attainable career choices.
