Crater School of Business Innovation and Science

The Crater School of Business, Innovation, and Science (BIS) is one of the four "small schools" located on the Crater High School campus in Central Point, Oregon. Operating within a unique model that divides the larger high school into smaller, focused learning communities, BIS is designed to provide a more personalized educational experience. The school emphasizes a career-technical and academic curriculum that prepares students for the modern workforce and higher education by blending traditional coursework with real-world applications in business management, entrepreneurship, and scientific inquiry.

At the heart of the BIS philosophy is a commitment to project-based learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. Students at the school are encouraged to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills through rigorous instruction and engagement with professional practices. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering close relationships between students and staff, the school aims to cultivate a tight-knit community where students can pursue their specific interests in business and science while still participating in the broader extracurricular and athletic programs offered by the integrated Crater campus.
