My Students

My students are an amazing group of kids. About half of them come from our local neighborhood in West Philadelphia, and the other half from all across the city. All in all, we have students from about 40 different zip codes!

We are an urban, neighborhood school with a very large low-income and special education population.

The students here chose to come to this school because they wanted to try a different style of learning, one that is hands-on and project based.

At our school, we focus on five core values: Inquiry, Research, Collaboration, Presentation, and Reflection. Students also follow our three school rules: Respect yourself, respect others, and respect the school as a place of learning. All of our units in every class culminate in a final, student-driven project, and we strive to make our lessons and projects as real-world based as possible.

My Project

My students are hooked on film-making! They love making creative videos and presentations for projects at school and at home. Their latest tech unit has introduced the use of the green screen to make amazing and creative films. Unfortunately, the only way we can currently film is with the very limited webcams on their Chromebooks.

Imagine the wonderful films they would be able to produce with high-def cameras!

My kids need several digital video cameras and memory cards in order to take their film-making to the next level. They're excited to start! Please help our aspiring actors, directors, and cinematographers!
