Teachers who actually live by the philosophy of the school

There are a few things I would like to say after this year. First I want to thank you personally for keeping the school running the way it is (and starting it in the first place). It has been a year since Maria started in Progressive. What this year brought to her: Confidence: The whole school community is concerned and engaged with real world problems. Kid's interest in these problems and possible solutions are taken seriously and put into life. This brings children sense of self worth. High respect and tolerance for people's differences and cultures. You could see how the children pick up these high ethical standards. Enjoyment of learning at school, and challenge. We came to Progressive a year ago for challenge and some meaning in learning. This is much more than I could expect from school. This year also brought us hope that there are options for learning according to our family values. I appreciate the hard work of the teachers who actually live by the philosophy of the school and make all these miracles happen. --Anatasia Pigal
