The mission of the Antioch Center for School Renewal is to make lasting, positive change in the lives of students, educators, and families through engaging facilitation, collaboration, and research. We work closely with schools and communities to tailor our programs to local needs.
At ACSR we believe that:
- Teaching and learning are dynamic and that must be celebrated as part of growth
- Schools must be organized for the success of children rather than for the convenience of adults
- Long-term relationships between students, teachers, and community organizations are the foundations of all meaningful learning
- There are multiple pathways to successful change that lead to a diversity of strong and healthy schools
- Environmental, economic, racial, and social justice must be integrated into professional learning.
