Principles

Our 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.
