Yon Apwòch Aprantisaj Akademik ki Santre sou Timoun nan, Oryante sou Ankèt

​Baze sou filozofi Reggio Emilia a epi an onore eritaj Frederick Douglass ak Florida Ruffin Ridley, aprantisaj nan Lekòl Douglass Ridley la se yon pwosesis kolaboratif ak dinamik ki onore kiryozite natirèl ak enterè timoun yo. Nou kwè ke lè elèv yo gen yon vwa nan aprantisaj yo, yo devlope yon gwo sans responsablite, aksyon, ak lajwa nan dekouvèt.

Elèv nou yo kite nou ak pouvwa pou nou konprann mond lan—epi prepare ak tout konpetans ki nesesè pou fè yon diferans ladan l.

Courtney Swartz

Courtney Swartz se yon edikatè depi plis pase 20 an, li te anseye pandan nèf an nan Washington, DC, Chicago, ak Boston anvan li te okipe wòl lidèchip kòm Direktè Adjwen, Doyen Kourikoulòm ak Enstriksyon, ak Direktè Akademik.

Avèk eksperyans nan salklas ak lidèchip lekòl, li pasyone pou kreye eksperyans aprantisaj kaptivan, santre sou timoun, ki ankouraje kiryozite, ekite, ak lajwa. Kounye a, antanke paran de timoun piti, li pi angaje pase tout tan pou reimajine edikasyon an—bati yon lekòl kote tout timoun yo wè, tande, epi ba yo pouvwa pou yo eksplore mond ki antoure yo a.

We're building a school where children are known, their ideas matter, and learning is full of possibility. The best way to understand what makes Douglass Ridley School different is to experience it for yourself. 

 

Come explore our classrooms, meet our educators, and imagine what's possible when children have the time, space, and support to follow their curiosity.

 

We'd love to meet your family!
