What matters in an education that is worthy of the lives our children will live? Worthy of the world we want them to live in? Our founders, board and faculty pose questions like these at the center of our work to build a more sustainable and harmonious world. What if, they ask, a school speaks up rather than down to the intellects of children? What if a school's curriculum is built from children's questions and wonderings about the world, built on our human and natural desire to create and do? What if we develop educational practices that foster -- instead of hamper -- creativity and innovation? What if, freed from the what-has-always-beens that hold some schools back, and from the standardized testing that has paralyzed our nation's discourse and practice, a school launches the inventors, artists, and changemakers who will act boldly and courageously in the face of a changing world? What if we align learning in school with the kinds of lives our children are likely to lead? The kind of lives we hope for them?
