| Mission | School in the Square ("S2") engages, educates and empowers adolescents to respond mindfully and creatively to life's opportunities and challenges. S2 is a place where students, families and educators are seen, heard, and inspired and where students build the academic foundations, emotional intelligence and leadership skills necessary to excel in their futures. S2 draws its name from the concept of the public square, where communities gather to solve problems and celebrate successes. | MissionDesc |

| Desc | 1. The 2017/2018 school year saw School in the Square open its doors to a new cohort of 6th graders, while continuing to educate more than 100 promoted 7th graders.2. Academic achievement is our key focus. S2 is committed to being data driven while keeping students, not only test scores, at the center. Our students come from many places with varied levels of academic skills. To meet students at their level and pace, a co-teaching model allows for targeted teaching in all core academic classes. Students who are particularly struggling benefit from additional small group learning periods throughout the week. As well, students can take advantage of computer-based blended-learning curricula in both ELA and Math, which provide extra practice for lower performers and more challenging work for higher performers. We are personalizing each student's education because that is the key to their success.3. Learning extends beyond the classroom. S2 offers high quality experiences that spark each student's passion for learning and build skills beyond core subjects. Teaching artists and staff from community-based organizations mentor cohorts of youth through interest-aligned programming. Students benefit from our partnerships with the People's Theatre Project and the METS baseball team, and enjoy playing rugby, making mural art, taking classes in coding and exploring cartoon art. Through these programs students gain a vision of future possibilities and forge bonds with their community.4. Building a democratic community. At S2, we give students varied and authentic opportunities to practice democracy and make choices that contribute to the school environment. Every six days, students come together for Voice, a time for reading texts, discussing complicated issues, developing proposals and presentations, and participating in democratic decision-making. Through Voice, we empower students to address important school, community and social issues while learning multicultural awareness practices and perspective taking. We find that when children believe their choices matter, they crave the academic and personal skills necessary to exercise them responsibly. | Desc |
