Under Construction…

Imposing, Interrupting, Communicating, Adapting, Remembering, Sharing

These words, chosen by the students, are a representation of the future. They act as software for a school building that is designed to learn and relate.

Every school is different but a creative school must listen carefully to what its students have to say. In times like these, a learning environment must provide security,Β  room to experiment and opportunity for [self-]discovery. It is important to listen, butΒ  there must also be dialogue. You are inside, but you work forΒ 

the outside world. This semester resulted in a wonderful study with unique insights that we as teachers are happy with and that allows us to better understand our students, their aspirations and needs, all whileΒ  guiding them into the real world…
