Our Vision

We envision a world where all children get what they need to live healthy, rewarding lives in equitable, peaceful communities, in an interconnected, thriving world.

Our Design Principles

Living School is not your ordinary School.

Equity

Most schools measure success only with grades & test scores, reifying structural oppression.

We measure success with outcomes that promote equity: student, community, and environmental holistic health.

Intentional
Biodiversity

Most schools are de-facto segregated, use standardized methods, and focus on singular outcomes.

We intentionally integrate diverse people and methods to create the conditions where a healthy ecosystem of learning can flourish.

Democratic Community

Most schools are built for students & families instead of with them, giving stakeholders little agency.

Students, families, and staff form democratic branches that co-design every element of the school to balance institutionalized power.

Real World Work

Most schools silo ​and simplify learning into distinct subjects divorced from their authentic application.

​All learning is facilitated collaboratively through interdisciplinary, authentic inquiry, projects, problems, internships, and apprenticeships.

Y'all are such a blessing! I am so glad for the people of this school.

My grandbaby hasn't even started there yet and I am getting blessings from this school. That shows me how much you guys care about people.
- Mrs. Bodere, Living School Grandparent of a new student
