Our academic program is built around ten core tenets of progressive education. Developed by our own faculty and staff, these tenets guide us in every area of the curriculum — but they do not dictate a single method of teaching in a given unit, classroom, course, or department. Indeed, they invite pedagogical imagination and innovation.
We nurture our students' capacity for morality and empathy, helping to provide the framework and knowledge necessary to live an ethical life.
At every age, in developmentally appropriate ways, our educational program not only serves our students' growth as citizens, but strengthens their skills as scholars.
Our curriculum is never stagnant; our teachers are constantly updating their courses to reflect the most pressing issues.
Play and movement are vital to our work at all ages — for us, rigor and laughter go hand-in-hand.
We seek out new voices, identify hidden assumptions, and reshape our norms accordingly — in order to create a school that truly belongs to all of us.
We design courses around the changing needs of students, their reactions to world events, or even surprising new passions they might bring to light.
We celebrate the process more than the product — the practices and procedures students master so they can repeat their achievements again and again.
Our entire curriculum is built from the ground up with hands-on, project based, design-centered approaches. We want our students not just to see, hear, and think but to make, do, and feel.
The health of our students is essential, and we work diligently to ensure a safe physical environment, robust opportunities for movement, and abundant support for social and emotional health.
We live in community, and we recognize the responsibility each of us has to the greater whole. Our academic program is infused with an insistence that we care for and engage our neighbors, both in and around our campuses.
