We co-design schools for love, justice and collective liberation.​

School Redesign partners the HTH GSE with existing schools and districts to advance equity for K-12 students through Liberatory Project Based Learning. We center our work around students and community by designing Liberatory Project Based Learning, centering student voice through democratic community practices, and making learning public with exhibitions of student work.

Learning Through Projects

Students develop deeper learning competencies through project-based learning, and cultivate a sense of belonging, identity, and place while learning the language of liberation and oppression.

Making Learning Public

Students exhibit, present, and reflect on their learning. Student work is curated throughout the physical space of the school. Process and product of learning are both made visible.
A group speaking

“The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others.”

-bell hooks

Social, economic and environmental justice serve as through lines in all cross-disciplinary projects reflecting the needs of the local community.
