Design Principles

The design principles guiding development of the Rivendell program are:

• • An engaging team-taught curriculum that results in well-educated students who are able to meet high academic standards, problem solve across disciplines and contexts, and take leadership in their communities

  • Significant and ongoing connections between school and community

  • Structures and practices that support teaching and learning

  • New standards of accountability and excellence for our school, our staff, and our students.
