My Students
Our school is proud to have a racially and economically diverse student body. Our students engage in personalized learning so no student is ever left behind and every student can be pushed to reach their fullest potential. At our school, we replace boring lectures with engaging projects and controlling adults with personal coaches who teach students how to manage their own schedule, behavior, and work habits. We know that children learn through practice, so students practice navigating the choices of the real world within a safe, structured school environment.
Our students are self-aware freethinkers who are working to become leaders of their own selves and their communities.
They are curious about the world around them and ask thought-provoking questions. They are bright, hard-working, and deserve the absolute best education experience.
My Project
The chair will be used in the mindfulness room to give students a comfy place to sit. I want to make the room as comfortable as possible so students can have a calming space to reset. This space will be filled with other comfortable furniture as well.
The mindfulness cards are for me to teach different mindfulness strategies to groups of students.
Also, students can use these cards to practice the techniques on their own. Some students may need to take a card to class with them as a reminder of ways to stay focused and grounded.
More than half of students from low‑income households
