The following is an example of a typical week for a Newpoint student, Mia Kelly, who is a tenth grader:
 
Monday
Mia Kelly, arrives at school at 7:30 a.m. to check in with the Employability Specialist before taking NewPoint provided transportation to her Professional Internship Program at the Austin and Williams Marketing Agency.
 

Upon arriving at the Austin and Williams Marketing Agency at 8:00 a.m., Mia checks in with her supervisor, who provides her with the weekly overview for the job Mia shares with four other students. They then discuss her assignment for the day.
 

Mia completes her assigned tasks, which consist of compiling research data into a spreadsheet and creating bar and pie graphs based on the data in Microsoft Excel. She attends a weekly staff meeting and reads and responds to interoffice emails using Microsoft Outlook.  In the early afternoon, Mia meets with her Austin and Williams Marketing Agency supervisor and her NewPoint Bay Employability Specialist to discuss her progress as an intern. They review the goals that were set by the group last month and set new goals for this month.
 
At 4:00 p.m., Mia returns to Newpoint and then goes home for the day.
 
Tuesday through Friday  
Mia works on the following courses in the Academic Labs in the morning beginning at 7:45 a.m.  Each course is completed in the Academic Lab that corresponds to the core content area—English Language Arts courses are completed in the English Language Arts Lab, Science courses are completed in the Science Lab, Mathematics courses are completed in the Mathematics Lab, etc. She works through each course at an individualized pace with the assistance of a certified content area teacher, who provides instruction, mentoring and tutoring as needed. While she works at an individualized pace, due dates are set for milestones within each course to ensure that she completes all courses by the end of the school year.  
 
Project Based Learning is also an integral element to the lab work she completes each day during the morning and also during her Enrichment period.
 
In the afternoon Mia completes an Enrichment period where she can work on core course assignments, projects and has access to her core course teachers for assistance as needed. All NewPoint students are working in Enrichment during this period. This Enrichment period provides them with an opportunity to work ahead or to work on team or individual project assignments.
 
Also in the afternoon Mia attends her Portfolio course. Since Mia is a tenth grader at NewPoint, her Portfolio revolves around educational requirements and career paths within her chosen Major Area of Interest, which is Marketing. This grading period, she is researching different marketing careers, the educational requirements for each career, the technology used in the different career paths, and the initial and eventual compensation for each career. She works with her Employability Specialist to ensure that she is meeting Portfolio milestones, for assistance when she experiences difficulty in her research, and to make connections between the Portfolio course and her Professional Internship Program.
