What’s the difference between an approved and a participating organization?

A worksite, school, restaurant, or grocery store must create a tipping point of transformation by meeting a minimum point requirement of best-practice implementation and outcomes tracking in order to become approved. Organizations such as faith-based and other are more suitable to complete a checklist of actions and activities to support making healthier choices easier.

Please contact your Blue Zones Project® team member to determine which process would best suit your organization.

SCHOOL

Alisal Virtual Academy

Salinas, CA, 93905

The Alisal Virtual Academy is an “Alternative School of Choice” and opened during the 2022-23 school year. It is open to any Kindergarten through 6th grade students in the Alisal Union School District AND Monterey County. A V A is very different from Remote Instruction. For starters, A V A has a physical presence, so when you need to come talk to a teacher or administrator, you have a place to go. Imagine a virtual school but you still have in-person connections to the educators in your child’s life. A V A students get new equipment, including larger Chromebooks to make the teaching & learning more interactive. Also, to make online learning as engaging as possible, we have a more hands-on approach to learning through the Experiential Learning model.
