Roots and Wings’ Mission
Roots and Wings’ Mission
2010
Our mission at Roots & Wings Community School (RWCS) is to nurture and prepare young people in a highly personalized, "hands-on" learning environment so that each student may become a self-confident, competent, respectful and contributing member of our society.
At RWCS, we accomplish this mission by enrolling a small group of students at a time and creating a compelling, project-based educational environment in a farm and wilderness setting. Major intent is put toward intellectual development, practical skill-building, affective learning, character formation, community membership and moral growth.
Mission Statement:
"I regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self denial, and above all, compassion." Kurt Hahn
