Architects of Achievement. Thoughtfully-designed school buildings—capable of supporting personalized, learning-focused, collaborative, and community-connected teaching and learning—have the power to transform individuals, schools, and the greater community. Momentum for high school reform is building as policymakers, opinion leaders, educators, and the general public recognize what visionary school reformers have known for years: American high schools, designed for a manufacturing economy that no longer exists, are failing to prepare our youth for college, career, and citizenship. Across the nation, large comprehensive high schools are being replaced with smaller, more dynamic learning communities. Our nation’s students are changing. School systems, curriculum and instruction, and facilities must evolve together, to prepare these new learners to lead our nation, and world, into the future. With you, we are honored to be part of this work.
