PROJECT
-
Work with your partners to explore various educational philosophies and school designs using the resources page.
-
Develop an educational philosophy, a mission statement that accurately captures your school's purpose, and a 3D school design that best suits your school's approach to learning.
-
Your work will culminate in the creation of a website for your ideal school. The website will lay out the educational philosophy by which your school will operate, will clearly articulate your school's mission, and will artistically display your design.
