Details about schools:

2008 May: Humboldt Middle School, St. Louis, Mo: As we implement A Different Ways of Knowing School, a child-centered, arts-infused curriculum that integrates learning across all disciplines, we strive to integrate services throughout the building and the extended Humboldt Community. Teachers and students are empowered to take charge of their learning. We build on student's individual and collective strengths through interaction, collaborative groupings, and inquiry based learning with teachers acting as facilitators in all major content areas. We are committed to authentic instruction and performance based assessments that drive individualized achievement.
