Andrew: How would you describe your school’s approach to education?
John: I believe in learning by doing. There’s an old Chinese adage that says, “Tell me, I forget. Show me, I remember. Involve me, I learn.” It’s a John Dewey approach to education: hands-on, practical application of knowledge in the real world. That really permeates everything that we do here. We want to give students experiences, not just knowledge.
Andrew: What programs do you offer that help advance that theory of education?
Andrew: What do you think parents should think about when choosing a school for their kids?
Andrew: Can you share how you participate in National School Choice Week and whether there is anything else you’d like to add?
John: We completely support school choice and we have flyers and awareness and all of that for parents. One thing I could add is a call out to all of my fellow colleagues in education: We really need to challenge students to do more because they can do a lot more than we think they can.
