Small Schools Project
About Us
The Small Schools Project, part of the Coalition of Essential Schools Northwest Center, was created in 2000 to promote the understanding and development of small schools committed to providing rigorous, relevant learning experiences for all students, based on powerful relationships that support this learning.
The Project provides support and assistance to high schools and districts committed to high school redesign and graduating all students college and work-ready. We work with both new small schools and those created by redesigning large comprehensive high schools into smaller, autonomous ones.
We believe the key to keeping students in school and graduating them ready for college and work is improving the quality of classroom experiences for every student.
