We haven’t written about the school where we draw much of our inspiration, and where we conduct much of our research. We were on the design team for Health Sciences High and Middle College, a public charter school in San Diego, CA that opened in 2007.  A unique feature of the school is its partnership with Sharp Healthcare, the largest non-profit employer in the county. Students at the school begin hospital internships starting in ninth grade. We could go on about the wonderful students, staff, and families at HSHMC, but we thought we would let them tell you themselves. We hope you enjoy this 5-minute student video.
