Summary:
"There'
s
a little-known
school
in Halifax that kids are excited to attend every day, right through until they graduate. It'
s
a place where they absorb "real-world" skills, including critical thinking, and complex literacy, math and second-language abilities, so that they stick. They gather for intense, whole-school discussions on local issues, create art using geometric calculations, and dig into the
school
garden while learning about the biology of the native plant garden - all in one typical week. Over forty years, the Halifax Independent
School
has developed an approach to education that reflects the ideas of leading educators but follows no set formula. It offers
parents
and educators a vision of what
schools
could be like right across the country. In this account of "the
best
school
in the
world
," readers will find ideas big and small for
how
Canadian
schools
could do a better job of engaging, challenging and educating their
students
. Molly Hurd was a teacher and head teacher at Halifax Independent
School
for twenty years. She believes passionately that keeping children'
s
natural love of learning alive throughout their
school
years is the
best
thing a
school
can
do for its
students
