Dialogue Circle Save the Date:
At our next Dialogue Circle on Thursday, May 1st at 6 PM, “Built to Last: PHS, Progressive Education, and What’s Next,” we will discuss the practical nature of how we can continue to push the edges of the envelope of progressive education for the next 90 years. Click here for a flyer about this event. Alfie Kohn's article, Progressive Education: Why It's Hard to Beat, but Also Hard to Find which appeared in the NAIS publication Independent School will be a jumping off point for our discussion.
