School Projects
Our projects are more than spontaneous or “cute” activities (though they can certainly involve them from time to time). They are journeys that support each child’s development across cognitive, social, emotional, and physical domains. Through each project, students explore real-world themes and take on challenges that encourage responsibility, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking little by little.
These projects typically follow a 5 to 6 week cycle and end in a meaningful and tangible outcome. Many of these are built from smaller subprojects that introduce foundational concepts and skills. Below is a repository of the projects we’ve recently completed, with brief descriptions of each. Check back in the future as we continue to update this page and add things like project resources, lesson plans, tips, and more!
