My students at VCS thrive from hands-on learning experiences. We strive to provide a project-based, constructivist curriculum where students have an opportunity to construct their own learning and the teachers are merely facilitators in the process. In order for a curriculum like this to take flight, students must be given many, many opportunities to experience learning. In order to create these experiences, we have to provide many opportunities for real life experiences. Doing that is hard when my school is operating on a very, very limited budget. My students love learning and will benefit tremendously from hands-on experiences. VCS has a very diverse student population and serves students from various incomes. We work together as a diverse community so that everyone has access to high quality learning.
