At Revolution School, you'll break down the walls between learning and life to connect what you're learning with what's happening in the real world.

PERSONALIZATION

Fieldwork
Fieldwork each week engages Revolution students in meaningful community connected activities aimed at growing their agency as learners and their personal networks. Fieldwork grounds content with transferable skills like questioning, contributing and problem solving through hands-on work with organizations and people. Starting with exploring the city right outside the doors of Revolution School, students move through increasingly more independent work, making choices about participating in projects, collaborating with partners, and then identifying their own questions.

My son immediately saw himself as a Revolution student. He can move from subject to subject in any school, but at Revolution School he can move from learning about what this world needs to being what this world needs. That’s the difference.
