Susan Odell Taylor School promotes project-based learning rooted in problem-solving, academic risk-taking and the courage to lead.
The development of a steadfast sense of self is paramount to each child’s educational experience. Through their experiences, the children will come to know and understand themselves in a way that is personal and unique. Each child will be encouraged to develop a sense of trust, a sense of competence, and a sense of initiative. Positive self-esteem and self-confidence will be nurtured within each student.
