Students deserve an education that respects their unique contribution to building our society. They are not seeking an education as a means to get out of Detroit; they see their education as a means to make Detroit a wonderful place to live.
"Today, we need to combine learning with work, political struggle, community service, and even play." - Grace Lee Boggs; Mural by Katie Yamasaki
Community Conversations allow our team to understand the ideas and desires of the community while also giving the community a chance to have a voice in our school's design.

Who are the teachers and who are the learners?
Since the beginning, families have participated in creating the vision for the Boggs School.
The inaugural Boggs Day - 2013-14 School Year!

Responsive Classroom

Families: Please join us for the second session of an overview of Responsive Classroom, our approach to school culture, discipline, language, and more.

This will take place on Monday, Dec. 9 from 5:30-6:30.  All participants will receive a copy of the book we use.  DON'T WORRY if you missed Session 1!  It will be repeated later in the year.
