The schools in the San Lorenzo Unified School District are places in which learning is celebrated and supported. Students believe that their success is due mostly to their own effort. Teachers believe that all students can learn and engage students in intellectually stimulating learning activities.
Students work in diverse groups, in or out of the school building, investigating topics.
Because students learn by constructing their own meaning, they learn how, not what, to think. Students demonstrate new learning through projects, portfolios, presentations, and other applications of knowledge. These assessments measure student progress toward meeting well-defined district standards. A strong sense of community exists at all schools. Differences are celebrated in order for students to develop a strong sense of self as part of a larger world.
