What if school was about pursuing important questions about the world and along the way you discovered and developed your unique gifts, talents, and tastes?

School, as we know it and as designed in 1893, was not originally created with this in mind. Our school was born different.

We believe in doing real, personally challenging work that is meaningful to the world beyond the school walls–and most importantly within the context of a caring & loving community. When done well, tight-knit groups work on different aspects of the same project with a shared sense of ownership, purpose and craftsmanship.

Young people long to do substantive, intellectual and beautiful work that contributes to making this world more just, verdant, biodiverse, healthier, and harmonious. When given the opportunity, young people throw their creative energy and youthful zest into their work and they see old things in new ways. They create new knowledge, new technologies, new networks, new forms of expression, and new ways of doing things.

We are a work in progress. We’re still learning—by doing, by experimenting. So, excuse our mess! Our intention is to unlock the inherent genius of every young person and to connect them to one another and our world. We invite you to bring yourself, your interests and your voice to the conversation. Let’s do real and sustainable good together.

In pursuit of truth, beauty and justice,
Kaleb
