Community Initiative
Since our founding, CAST has been committed to reinventing schooling for our young learners, inside and outside the classroom. Our efforts are guided by our four pillars: Equity, Relationships, Student Voice & Agency, and Authentic Experiences. We believe our students will be the leaders of tomorrow because they are positioned to drive change today.
Over the past two weeks, we have met as a community and defined three focus areas to further explore during the summer: engaging in your community, using art as a revolutionary act, and learning more about the culture. We will continue to engage during the summer through independent sessions. As our leaders of tomorrow, our students’ voices must be heard now. As our future protectors, inventors, and sources of comfort and inspiration, their ideas need to be seen and recognized. Email us at info@castschools.com if you would like to join us in our efforts. There are multiple opportunities currently available as well as many other ways to join the discussion.
