This week in Edu 100 we learned about place based education and the environment! After looking through pins on pinterest I found a school that does place based education in Virginia. I had never heard of this type of education before I read about it this week and I think that it is so fascinating! The school talks about how important it is to go beyond the regular curriculum of math, science, language arts, and social studies. They cover other activities such as artistic, social, athletic, and more. This is private school that goes above and beyond regular public schools. Students get smaller class sizes and gets a hand on experience with what they are learning. The school is located on 137 acres of land so the students can take their learning to a whole different level. As much of an awesome experience it would be to have gone here, I think that it would such an incredible school to teach at! Being given the opportunity to take the class on a "field trip" right in the backyard would educate the minds of so many students! Would this be a type of school you would want to send your child to? Would you consider teaching here?
The goal of a Hill School education is to build character, self-confidence, and scholarship through academic and co-curricular excellence, individualized attention, and a strong sense of community.
I think that this gives both the students and the teachers an amazing education opportunity.
