Denver7 reporter Adam Hammond tells us Watershed High School students traveled to the border city of El Paso, Texas, for eight days to learn about life on the border

At Watershed, students learn by going off campus, working with experts, and creating solutions to real-world problems. Instead of memorizing answers for standardized tests, they might learn economics by starting a small business or master algebra by solving an engineering problem. Watershed students learn with a purpose. Along the way, they’re part of a close-knit community that allows them to be who they are. It’s no wonder they love coming to school every day. http://www.watershedschool.org/ www.xseeddesign.com
