Project-Based Learning Across the Curriculum

Our vision is to completely reimagine high school. We plan to work with students to create an educational path designed to provide learners with the time, space, and support needed to explore their own interests and passions. Through a series of multi-week interdisciplinary projects, they’ll meet graduation proficiency requirements and develop skills essential for the future.

We plan to spend our sabbatical meeting with students, faculty members, and community partners to design projects and possible outcomes that make learning rigorous, authentic, and relevant. Recognizing that project-based education already exists for small subsets of students in different Vermont schools, our focus will be on bringing this opportunity to scale to meet the needs of as many of our students as are interested.
