About our school:

Since 1972, Giddens has always been committed to the tenets of progressive education. This means that we have a deep respect for children, and we believe in their capacity for making contributions to their own learning and the learning of others. Every aspect of teaching and learning is designed to provide opportunities to gain content knowledge and skills of the highest quality. Giddens has fostered young people who are secure in themselves, value difference and embrace diversity, think critically about the world around them, and possess both the knowledge and passion to work for progress.

What kids will love:

• Learning to think like scientists, like mathematicians, like writers, and like artists • A community that emphasizes kind-heartedness and understanding, where students are cared for and supported in their development • Learning to know themselves, to understand their own perspectives, and to respect the perspectives of others • Teachers who know students socially, emotionally and intellectually • Students engaged in learning that connects to themselves, to others, and to the larger community • Students who develop the knowledge and skills to embrace the world we know and reach toward the world we hope for
