Welcome to today’s progressive K-6 classroom, where a diverse set of students are motivated, not lectured. Fueled by responsibility, not chastened by obedience. Here, children are never bored or stifled. Here, everyone develops a love of learning. Here, students form the building blocks of ingenuity that will reap a lifetime of rewards.

Believe it or not, this is not traditional.
This is not standard.
This, is what progress looks like.
