    Little Red Schoolhouse, North America
  and Elisabeth Irwin High School - 40 Charlton Street - New York, NY            
Lower School teachers have been thinking together about the goals we set for social studies, in particular the conceptual goals that underlie our projects, trips and written tasks. As much as in literacy or math, we design a program to reflect students’ developmental orientation. We meet them where they are, tapping into their interests and curiosity within the framework of their realm of understanding. For example, we know that the younger child learns through concrete, personal experience – a trip or interview is a springboard for extended learning as your child reflects, questions, draws and writes about an exciting experience, turning it into new and deeper understanding. As the student matures and her worldview broadens, she extracts more and more information from books and symbolic communication, linking this to direct, interactive experience. Eventually, around Third Grade, students are ready to leave what we call the ”here and now” and enter the world of “long ago and far away;” to study those things that cannot be visited directly, tasted or touched. Thanks to the experiential foundation of their earlier years, eight and nine year olds are prepared to appreciate the flow and evolution of history and to conceptualize a timeline leading from then to now.

Currently, we are building a high school addition. As a result of the steady high enrollment over the past decade, SJVA was pressed to develop a strategic campus facility plan that would renovate existing buildings and increase the amount of space in our high school. Specifically, several of the oldest buildings on campus are unable to meet the space and program needs of our faculty and students. In order to maintain programs and to expand other areas of the curriculum, SJVA proposed a $5 million renovation and construction project. This will primarily consolidate the high school's academic space into a central location by enlarging and renovating the existing high school facility. A three-story wing is being built and connected to the current two-story high school. All new classrooms will be provided with "T1" Internet access lines. The project broke ground in December 2004 and is anticipated to be completed by September 2005. Of this $5 million renovation and construction project, $1 million must be raised from a capital campaign. Because St. John Villa is a private Catholic school, we do not receive public funds or money from the Archdiocese for capital projects and therefore, must seek private donations to accomplish this greatly needed project.

    Trinity School, North America
  149 West 91st Street - New York, NY           
K-12. Trinity's mission, stated in carefully considered terms, is essentially to provide its students with a setting—intellectual, moral, and physical—in which they can pursue the elements of a liberal education. We understand the idea of liberal education in different ways, all of us, but I'm pretty sure we could agree on a small number of things that are necessary to it: reading and writing accurately and truthfully; being curious and critical-minded; opening our minds to the ideas of others; questioning authority; maintaining self-respect and respect for the other. It is an endless project. Its ideals are woven through the ideals of democracy. I've come to think that, beyond the ideal of learning for its own sake, for the love of it, a liberal education serves politics. The political question is something like, "What is one to do with one's power?" How Trinity goes about the business of a liberal education is our way of answering that question.

Fundado em 1969, mais precisamente no mês de março. Naquele tempo, nes-se espaço, balões faziam poesia no ar. Hoje, neste mesmo lugar, os alunos am-pliam conhecimen-tos, pesquisam nos livros, nos computa-dores e na natureza, organizam feiras, sonham, desejam, realizam e, também, lançam poesias no ar. Passados tantos anos, o Miraflores vive, com plenitude, a maturidade das experiências adquiridas, mas permanece criança inquieta diante dos desafios do amanhã. Pois, como nos ensinou nosso Mestre Paulo Freire, o futuro não é uma coisa escondida na esquina. O futuro a gente constrói no presente.

Por meio de seleção de conteúdos relevantes, contribuímos para que se discuta e se promova a cultura como centro gerador de transformação social.
A afetividade ressignifica o nosso fazer pedagógico. Propomos a Educação que seja provocativa, criativa, pautada na reciprocidade das áreas de conhecimento, no respeito e na inclusão responsável. A proposta Pedagógica é constantemente transformada pelos Projetos elaborados nas diferentes áreas, de forma que todos possam ensinar e aprender conhecimento, fundamentos de cidadania de democracia e do convívio social.
    CEM Centro Educacional Mineiro, South America
  Av. Abílio Machado, 4020 - Alípio de Melo - Belo Horizonte, MG           
O Centro Educacional Mineiro-Colégio CEM é a realização de um sonho que se concretizou com a sua fundação em 1973, prestando serviços educacionais a uma região, na época, carente de instituições de ensino para que os alunos pudessem dar prosseguimento aos estudos. O colégio foi fundado pelo Prof. Paulo Eduardo Coelho Costa, através do incentivo de seu pai, senhor Joaquim Antônio Costa, patrono do colégio e homem que dedicou a sua vida à comunidade desta região em especial às crianças através de obras sociais, culturais e esportivas . Trinta e três anos se passaram. Nossa região cresceu. O Colégio CEM sempre atento às necessidades da população, também cresceu e realiza hoje uma prática educativa moderna com uma excelente equipe de professores e funcionários competentes e realmente comprometidos com a educação integral dos alunos numa relação interpessoal baseada no respeito mútuo, auto-estima, diálogo e aprendizagem permanente. Desde a sua fundação (1973), o colégio ministra uma educação sólida, baseada no desenvolvimento intelectual, moral, social, físico e afetivo, tornando o aluno consciente dos direitos e deveres da pessoa humana, do cidadão, do estado, da família e dos grupos que compõem a sociedade. É preciso educar as pessoas para serem felizes, capazes de pensar, terem senso crítico, formação ética e autonomia intelectual, trabalharem em equipe, serem criativas, solucionarem problemas, aprenderem a aprender e a se tornarem seres integrantes da sociedade, conscientes dos direitos e deveres do cidadão. Com metodologia e tecnologia adequadas, os alunos têm a oportunidade de ampliar suas experiências com ensino de qualidade, para que possam compreender e interagir com o mundo em que vivem através do exercício consciente da cidadania, da qualificação para o trabalho, da responsabilidade e da solidariedade, para que venham a compreender e a incorporar os princípios e valores que promovem o ser humano.
