The Sage School School of Thought | School of Action | Education Reimagined : Student-Centered | Community-Driven | Nature-Based | Grades 6-12

The Sage Approach is:
RELEVANT
In this active and social environment, students experience themselves as significant and appreciated members of a community. Each is safe to explore his or her emerging identity and to express individuality. By experiencing the strength of their own voices within a social and academic context, the students develop a sense of self, a sense of place, and a sense of meaning that is integral to their education. This awareness of self, place, and community manifests in the students’ eagerness to identify their passions and take responsibility for their individual and community lives. SOCIAL
While engaging in meaningful work, students are exploring who they are in relation to their peers and community, and are developing social awareness and social intelligence. Sage students are part of an intimate collective of learners and teachers, and engage with adult professionals through community action, mentorships, and visiting experts. Our curriculum extends beyond the classroom to incorporate the cultural, human, and natural resources of the Wood River Valley and surrounding areas. ACTIVE
We integrate core academic skill and content into real world experience. These experiences yield important journeys and products, which serve as authentic, real world “tests.” From using individual family histories to construct and perform the story of America as a theater production, to creating and curating a professional photography exhibit around adolescence and identity construction, to growing and selling food while studying the origins of agriculture, the Sage student is immersed in active learning. The tangible consequences and rewards of active learning inspire students to take on responsibilities with pride and enthusiasm.

Last Thursday, our 12 seniors stood on stage at The Liberty Theater to share their Independent Trimester Presentations. We heard about how communities are formed, how one can expand their sense of self, how photography can help better understand the world, how landscape and culture affect individuals, and how creativity shapes us. Their studies have taken them into the mountains of the Wood River Valley and beyond. They explored creative endeavors that brought them into neighboring states and spread them across the globe- from the Andes to the Great Barrier Reef.

Their presentations reflect Sage's educational philosophy in action. Students venture beyond the classroom, seeking out experts and exploring their place in the world. It was a celebration of our seniors and a glimpse at the thoughtful, curious, and engaged individuals they have become.

Admittedly, one of the reasons I wanted my children to attend The Sage School is because of their year-long focus on the American food system in the upper grades. It
