WAY Niles
Our Program
W-A-Y Niles is an alternative approach that encourages self-esteem, independence, and 21st century skills that will facilitate a college education and career path.
Students in the W-A-Y Program become Researchers and develop customized standards-based learning plans with a Mentor around topics that truly appeal to them.
Each researcher is equipped with an iMac workstation and Internet connectivity within his or her home. They communicate with their Mentors daily and collaborate with other Michigan and International W-A-Y researchers.
