I came across this link via The Tinkering School website - Brightworks: An Extraordinary School
http://sfbrightworks.org
Brightworks is a school that reimagines K-12
education. By taking the best practices from both early childhood
education and hands-on, project-based experiential learning, we strive
to meet students’ needs in a flexible, mixed-age environment that breaks
the traditional walls between school and the community outside the
classroom. We offer a broad-spectrum learning environment designed to
encourage creative capacity, tenacity, and citizenship.
Using the Brightworks arc as a framework for deeply engaged learning, children develop the
ability to find wonder and delight in the exploration of any topic, to
practice working together to turn ideas into reality, and to learn how
to communicate what they have done and why - all in the context of a
diverse community of collaborators, families, volunteers, and
supporters.
