1. The school that I found is South Valley Academy in Albequerque, New Mexico. This school is known byt the "Essential Schools" website as a "Mentor School". This means they are paired up with counselors or advisors who follow them throughout their high school career. In addition, on Thursdays the students spend 3 hours out serving their community in different facets. Community service is used to prepare them for civic engagement and citizenship.

2. This school connects to the component for "Providing Comprehensive Support for all Students". They have advisors who help them out, give them support and are an additional resource for them. In addition, the community service is providing them an opportunity to learn real-life application skills, which would fall under the "Creating New Curriculum Paths" or even perhaps, "Powerful Teaching".
