Head, Heart, Hands Learning

Our whole human approach to education nurtures all parts of the developing person including the head (intellect and ideas), heart (feeling a deep connection to one’s self as well as their surrounding community and world), and hands (skills and working forces to accomplish the work of developing a better humanity for the future). This approach prepares our students for a smooth transition of continuing education, career pursuits, and lifelong service.

 

Our students learn deeply about all their subjects. They discuss ideas, analyze texts, experiment, and assess their thinking. They then create their own textbook to showcase their learning.

Our students are taught to connect with each other without a screen. While technology is a powerful tool, adolescents crave real human connection. Our teachers train students to interact with each other and make meaningful connections with fellow students, teachers, and their communities (including families and friends).

 

Students at Azure Fields learn deeply in every topic. They learn through projects, observation, and experimenting. Our students spend time in nature to see how the world works. They gain vocational training through shop classes and tech classes. They participate in the Work-Study program to gain real-world job experience and get high school credit for it.
