About

Lab learners collaborate, question, reflect, and advocate for their own needs and for the needs of others. Lab is a full-inclusion school in which all classes are comprised of general education and special education students learning together. We are deeply invested in Racial Equity, Social Emotional Learning, and student-centered, project-based Deep Learning that emphasis process over product, depth over breadth, and the growth mindset. At Lab, we are motivated by community, family, love, and joy, rather than competition, profit, and fear. Our relationships are our greatest assets; they undergird academic, social, and emotional development.

Art
Our goal for the visual arts program is to provide an arc of meaning and art making through a variety of media. In the tenth grade, students can elect to engage in a design thinking course, with a focus on criticality and design to solve real world problems. In the studio class elective as upperclassmen, students can choose to explore the theme of identity and our place in our world, both historically and in the present. Students will use a variety of media to express their ideas on varying topics connected to their place in this world. A portfolio prep class is available to senior students that want to pursue an art program in college, allowing for more critique experiences, guest speakers from local universities and time to work independently on their body of work. All students will be introduced to maintaining a sketchbook for the collection of ideas, lean heavily into the design process, analyze and interpret a wide range of perspectives represented by multi-ethnic artists, and utilize the vast opportunities to see art in person through museum and gallery visits. The music curriculum is designed so students can derive a meaningful learning experience regardless of prior knowledge and experience in music.
