Ø
New Directions is the independent study program
for the Poway Unified School District. We
provide a supportive, positive alternative for
students whose special needs require independent
study.
Ø
Students are assigned a weekly appointment with
an instructor who provides personal attention,
assesses, monitors and assigns approximately
five days of work to be completed independently
by the student.
Ø
Students currently enrolled in a PUSD school may access independent study
by referral from their current school.
Students who live in the district but are not
currently enrolled in PUSD may contact an
independent study program directly
