Progressive Education at HVA

Social Justice

We believe a complete education includes the nurturing of a strong ethical sensibility, a commitment to social justice, and an interest in using one’s life to advance the greater good. But students do not learn this from a textbook; they do not learn to care about society from a lecture. These values ensue naturally from a school environment in which they are authentically lived and modeled on a daily basis. Therefore, our schools strive to create a culture that reflects the ethical and nurturing community in which we want our children to live.
