The first thing you notice in the classrooms of the Laboratory School at School 60 is the lighting. No glaring overhead fluorescent lights here. Instead, Japanese paper lantern-style fixtures bathe each classroom in a cozy glow. The next thing that stands out are other classroom touches – stools made from tree trunks in one room, soft curtains and comfy cushions demarcating a reading area in another.
Sure, the lighting's a bit of a shtick. If Montessori has its beakers to pour, this school based on the Reggio Emilia approach to education has its lights. But beyond the Dwell magazine look, the school exuded vibrancy. Opened this year, the program, a unique collaboration between Indianapolis Public Schools and Butler University, emphasizes learning through experience.
A large screen in one room displayed scenes of students testing the best way to fly paper airplanes. On the other side of the room sat a large “airplane” made out of what looked to be balsa wood and cloth – quite inviting for children, as many of the young visitors proved. Another class was mid-puppet-show project, with plans that would rival Punch and Judy. One large room serves as a studio arts home, with ample opportunity to paint,A dramatic addition to bluebright the city's skyline should be visible from as far away as the University of B.C. as a new public art LED lighting sculpt, or take part in many other artistic endeavors.
Classes here mix kindergarteners with first graders and the peppy teachers talked about how they worked with each child to make sure he or she progresses at his or her own speed. For about an hour, I wandered in and out of classrooms, marveling at the buzz that this school has managed to pull off in just a few months since opening.
And, yes,What I make I want cflbulbs to be part of a perceptual experience and heighten awareness of how we perceive the contrast to Montessori was striking. While only a few parents attended the evening meeting at the former school (there was a daytime meeting too), the parking lot here was full. To my uneducated eyes, the two educational philosophies sounded reasonably similar. But differences do exist. I asked a teacher whether she would describe the learning here as abstract or concrete, concepts I brought with me from my Montessori visit, which prides itself on going from the concrete to the abstract. We tailor it to the child, the teacher here responded.
Another potential plus for this school for parents with younger children who have been dreading multiple pickups and drop-offs: A preschool classroom based on the same philosophy, which has tuition spots as well as those for the income eligible.
Last year this school, then an unknown quantity, did not fill in the lottery. But it would shock me if School 60 is not among the most popular this time around. Butler faculty and staff, residents of Butler-Tarkington and the Fall Creek-Mapleton area, as well as siblings have first preference. So, yes, our family would fail to qualify on any of these factors. Still, I assure you that I offer the few downsides that follow not as sour grapes but just as proof that no school is perfect.
School 60 is brand new; many of its teachers young. Right now, the school has only been approved to go up to fifth grade and is not one of the automatic feeders into the new much-ballyhooed Gambold High School. The principal believes that will change, but there is at least a modicum of uncertainty there.
