who we are
As a Quaker school, we commit to teaching students their responsibility to serve their communities in meaningful and actionable ways. Our curriculum and daily practices with students instill a mindset of empathy, kindness and pragmatism, setting the stage for them to live their lives with a passion to make the world a better place for all.
Our Program
A Challenging Problem or Question
It all begins with a meaningful issue focused on one or more of the UN SDGs
Sustained Inquiry
Students engage in an extended process of exploration.
Authenticity
The projects offer real-world content, tasks, tools, and impact.
Cross-Curricular Connections
Students communicate through technology, art, statistics, writing, and speaking.
Reflection, Critique, and Revision
Students give, receive, and apply feedback to improve their process and product.
Action &
Service
Students make their work public through demonstrations outside of the classroom.
We use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a blueprint for understanding and engaging with the issues that impact our communities today and in the future. Our students grapple with complex, real-world problems and learn to be active changemakers in their own neighborhoods and in the world beyond.
