This school protects and cultivates children’s curiosity and creativity by providing the tools, support, and guidance for them to explore and discover. While developing intellectual capacity, students also forge deep connections with their community through tending, harvesting, preparing, and celebrating food together. Formally the school is organized around various stages of plant growth and verticality. Tall growing towers serve as pillars sustaining the structure of the new central zone with programs benefiting the community in addition to the students. The upward trajectory takes students to a place without limitations.
