The Evergreen Approach to Education

Design Thinking

We value design thinking because it is a powerful tool that helps students become confident, creative and empathetic problem solvers.

Project Based Learning

Project based learning challenges our students to investigate and resolve a complex, real-world problem through a meaningful extended project.

Global Studies – 8th Grade Right of Passage

Evergreen’s Global Studies program is the culmination of our students’ time with The Evergreen School.

Students participate in a year-long program where they study the culture, history, ecology and geography of a country and, finally, travel there for a month.

It is the ultimate service learning project and it teaches our students to be responsible, involved global citizens.

certain - to be effective educators we must continue to grow and innovate to meet the needs of our students now and into the future.
