Developing Socially and Emotionally Healthy Students



Our teachers and students are committed to developing the ability to use our hearts well.  At The Project School, using the heart well involves the ability to work passionately, to empathize, to be compassionate and to have concern for the welfare of oneself and others.  Students and teachers are expected to model mutually healthy relationships, meaningful community service, high-quality collaborative work products and sensitivity to the needs of others.

Influencing Each Student’s Destiny and the Community’s Future

Our teachers and students intentionally develop our ability to use our minds well. At The Project School, using the mind well connects heart and voice as students and teachers demonstrate that they have the will, skill, capacity and knowledge to shape not only their own destiny but to contribute to the direction of their community as well. Essential attributes of using the mind well include informed decision making, creative problem solving and thoughtful planning. Our teachers and students are motivated and engaged in continuous learning because the curriculum is personalized in order to be meaningful and relevant for every teacher and student.

Contributing to a Creative Future

Our teachers and students work hard to develop their capacity for creative expression.  At The Project School, we are committed to the development of our students’ and teachers’ ability to use our voices well. Using the voice well includes the ability to create a persuasive argument, as well as to be able to listen well and with an open mind. In this context, voice includes all forms of creative expression including artistic and non-verbal.
