Our Vision is to be the leader in democratic, place-based and project-based education, facilitating inspirational and authentic learning experiences that engage students, families, educators and the community.

Our Mission is to cultivate a democratic learning environment that celebrates the interests and passions of its members and provides opportunities for students, families, educators, and the public to work together to enrich local, regional, national and global communities.  Participants will strive to think critically and strategically, solve problems creatively and collaboratively, and develop dispositions, knowledge, practices and skills that promote life-long learning and mindful civic engagement.
