The school also showcases its uniqueness by allowing more individual freedom and self guidance to help students prepare for the real world. One major way this is achieved is by allowing students to go off campus during lunch and become participating members of Portland's economy by shopping and dining during this time. The school also has a unique program known as "Flex Friday", where students or groups of students can organize a long-term project (1–4 years) that relates to their interests and goals while also containing educational value. The Projects are worked on every Friday, all day, when school is in session. Popular projects include game and [[software development]], robotics, and [[internships]].

On March 13, 2020, the school closed its doors amid [[COVID-19]] concerns and increased logistical tension, and switched to a remote learning model. This model was followed throughout the entirety of the 2020–2021 school year, even as many other schools in the area began to reopen. On August 1st, 2021, an E-mail was sent to students and staff confirming that the school would return to in-person instruction by September 2021, but under a new administration and with additional [[COVID-19]] Prevention methods in order to ensure campus safety.
