ABOUT SAMUELI ACADEMY

Located in Santa Ana, Calif., Samueli Academy is a diverse public charter school that has project-based learning (PBL) at the heart of its instructional approach. In PBL, learning is contextual, creative, and shared.

Through this process, project-based learning gives students the opportunity to develop real-life skills that will propel them towards future college and career success.
