We believe
- There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all education.
- School should not ignore the realities in students’ lives that may hold them back from academic progress.
- All students can succeed with the right resources and support, even those who have struggled in the past.
- Diversity and inclusion are the power that drives innovation and are critical elements of our community.
- Learning does not start and stop when bells ring.
- All students can achieve at high levels and should be held to high standards.
- School is about learning, exploring, and achieving, not ranking, complying, and competing.

We are honored to be featured in this Canopy Project report about state accountability policies and school innovation.

Map students visited the @friendsoftheplymouthpound as part of a Civics project about pet adoption in the Plymouth area. We donated cat toys we made and had a great time playing with some of the cats! Thank you to our host, Debbie. #doingHSdifferently
