I'm opening a small, nonprofit, independent middle school in New Rochelle, NY and I'm looking for a co-founder and/or a team of individuals that can help me promote my school and find interested parents.

I began to question what students needed from school to help empower them as learners. I read everything I could about transformative education, so that I could create a school that puts students' needs at the forefront of every decision. I began to imagine a school where students were valued for their unique strengths and gifts. A school that gave students a voice and choice in their learning. A school that created deeply personal and meaningful relationships with its students, parents, and community. I envisioned a school that was deeply personal. My goal is to inspire students to become passionate, life-long learners who discover their value and power alongside teachers who know them well--as learners and people.
