School Notes

At Weekday, we believe children learn by doing: by constructing knowledge; by collaborating, and by engaging as citizens to promote social justice and democracy within the school and the world beyond it. Our teachers and students work together to create a dynamic learning community grounded in cycles of inquiry and action.
We believe that the purpose of education is for students to develop their critical thinking skills and to become thoughtful participating citizens in their communities. We believe that when children feel supported, respected, and that their intellectual and emotional lives are being heard, they rise up and meet potential that exceeds all expectations. When placed in the right environment, with engaging and thought-provoking curriculum, it is amazing what children can accomplish!
