One thing that sets our program apart is our partnership with Butler University. Butler education students spent time exploring the language of paper in our Remida recently, in collaboration with our atelierista (Robin Houdek) and pedagogista (Paige Sjoerdsma) who are working with Professor Harris Garad’s class on integrating materials into curriculum. These hands on opportunities provide them with a unique perspective of what our students are doing in the classroom.

In every classroom, students create Hopes & Dreams to build a sense of community and purpose for the school year. Then the children create Classroom Agreements, or rules, to follow to help make their hopes and dreams come true!
