Organization Overview
We have prioritized and defined the 10 specific Progressive philosophies that hold meaning for us. We find these tenets to have enduring value as the world changes around us, and we return to them frequently to reflect upon our professional practice, goals for students, and hopes for the future.
1. Children learn by doing.
2. Helping children learn to think is as important as teaching any specific subject matter.
3. Learning occurs in ways unique to each child.
4. Children’s curiosity and initiative are integral to their education.
5. Independence is a vital part of every child’s development.
6. Working with others enhances children’s growth in every domain.
7. Every person is a thinker, creator, and contributor.
8. The natural world is a place to learn.
9. Childhood should be fun, and children should find joy in learning.
10. Children can be upstanders and agents of change.
