Perfect School Design Project

For our first project, our ninth graders were tasked with answering a question so many educators across the nation (and the globe) are currently struggling with: How can we better design an educational system to fit the needs of all students. Over the course of 7 weeks and (completely virtually), students met with guest speakers, researched, brainstormed and  together they created their vision of the perfect school. Below are the websites for the 10 schools they created. Click on the school name to visit that particular school's website.

Advanced classes will be open for every student because it's important for all students to show their smarts and not feel left out by attending separate classes.

With hard work we can achieve the impossible together.
