Our vision is to create a dynamic learning community where children are appreciated for their individuality, encouraged to take risks, and motivated to develop into compassionate, imaginative, and self-assured individuals who make meaningful contributions to the world around them.
Progressive Education
Progressive Education
An education at RCS is founded in the philosophy of the Progressive Education Model (PEM). This model of education, as described by Alfie Kohn, has eight main characteristics. PEM values attending to the whole child, community, collaboration, social justice, intrinsic motivation, active learning, deep understanding, and taking kids seriously. We work hard to pursue these values every day. Integrated throughout our program, you will see these characteristics of PEM in our hands-on learning strategies, multi-age classrooms, parent involvement, community interactions, school traditions and real-life skill building. Our ultimate goal is to support students in becoming confident and compassionate people who will be the dreamers, thinkers, and doers of tomorrow.
“The more we want our children to be (1) lifelong learners, genuinely excited about words and numbers and ideas, (2) avoid sticking with what’s easy and safe, and (3) become sophisticated thinkers, the more we should do everything possible to help them forget about grades.”
― Alfie Kohn
