Summer Meals for Your Family

We want to make sure all our families have access to meals this summer. Please see the tools below if you need assistance.

Download the CA Meals for Kids Mobile App

The CA Meals for Kids mobile application is free and makes it easy for families and caregivers to find summer and after-school meal locations. Summer meals provide children with access to essential nutrition during school closures throughout the summer break. Find sites by physical location, custom map, county, city, ZIP code, or partial site name. Download the CA Meals for Kids app from Apple’s App Store, Google’s Play Store, or Microsoft’s app store, and visit the CDE 2023 Summer Meals Service Sites web page for more information on locations where children can receive free, nutritious meals during school vacation and off-track periods.

Project-Based Learning at iLEAD Antelope Valley

Project-based learning is foundational to our approach to education at iLEAD Antelope Valley.

What is project-based learning (PBL)?

PBL is an educational approach that emphasizes the use of projects or tasks as the primary means of educating and learning. In PBL, learners engage in a variety of real-world projects that require them to apply what they have learned in a practical, hands-on manner.

In project-based learning, learners take an active role in their own learning, working collaboratively in groups to investigate and solve complex problems. The projects are designed to be relevant to learners’ interests and to connect to their everyday lives. Learners are encouraged to explore and ask questions, and to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.

The goal of project-based learning is to create a more engaging and meaningful learning experience for learners. Our goal at iLEAD Antelope Valley is to challenge learners to develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter and the ability to apply what they have learned in real-world situations.

The 4 Cs: Collaboration, Creativity, Communication and Critical Thinking

Since iLEAD Antelope Valley’s beginning, we have been committed to helping learners develop into well-rounded, lifelong learners empowered to lead in an ever-changing world. That’s why we focus on developing the four Cs of 21st-century learning:

  • Collaboration: Learners are able to work effectively with diverse groups and exercise flexibility in making compromises to achieve common goals.
  • Creativity: Learners are able to generate and improve on original ideas and also work creatively with others.
  • Communication: Learners are able to communicate effectively across multiple media and for various purposes.
  • Critical thinking: Learners are able to analyze, evaluate, and understand complex systems and apply strategies to solve problems.

These skills enhance the academic growth of iLEAD Antelope Valley’s learners and prepare them to succeed in life.
