Alijah and Gaby's detailed walkthrough of a 10th-grade history unit shows what culturally sustaining pedagogy looks like day by day — from Monday's reflective prompt to Friday's individual synthesis. The classroom layout, co-teaching model, and formative assessment strategies are all by design.
Read the full walkthrough →Vicki and JoJo's building design plans are now available — showing how the former College of Saint Rose campus has been reimagined with color-coded buildings, flexible classrooms with connecting support rooms, and key gathering spaces including a cafe-style cafeteria and student performance auditorium.
Explore the campus design →Students in the STEM and Art pathways collaborated on the design of a fully accessible sensory garden, featuring raised planting beds, textured walkways, a sound installation, and Braille plant labels. The garden will serve as an outdoor classroom for science, art, and wellness activities.

The month-long reading initiative kicks off in May — with weekly Friday Common Ground Community discussions, rotating student roles, and texts available in physical, audiobook, braille, large print, and digital formats. The reading month leads directly into our annual Capybara Conference.
