Governance

The structures within our school are designed to advance research-based and innovative ideas in education centered on goals of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. We strive for a school culture that fosters open conversation, dialogue and reflection. We value a decision-making process that gives voice to multiple perspectives. Faculty co-construct curriculum and contribute to some decision-making around school policy. Our Board of Advisors—made up of a diverse group of parents, administrators and teachers—serves as an advisory and working group, helping to shape specific school plans, and serves as a forum for ideas and input on the life of our school. Students are encouraged to share their ideas, respect the ideas of others and contribute to the greater good. This system of collaboration, purpose and accountability creates a dynamic and democratic environment where all members of the community can learn together and fresh ideas can emerge.
