School of holistic investigative formative thinking
SHIFT is a sociocratic, self-sustained, inquiry-based learning community that is focused on the growth of the individual and the collective. The school operates as though each student is a healthy, flourishing tree, with the root system of parents, teachers, administrators, and the outside community supporting them. Together, every student can reach their fullest potential through the integrated commitment to each other.
The educational foundations of the school are based on the Deweyian model of learning...
We believe that learning doesn't only happen between four enclosed walls.
At SHIFT, students create their own schedules based on their interests.
We believe in adaptable learning schedules, community engagement, and positive feedback loop assessment.
