At Van Ness, we are a positive school community, and we work to build an inclusive environment for all. In our classrooms, we provide opportunities for experiential learning connected to the units of study. Our aim is to cultivate critical thinkers and develop a generation of confident, curious, and compassionate members of society.
• Our classrooms all have 'maker spaces' - places where students can practice their creative problem-solving skills as they respond to challenges
• Van Ness focuses on student well-being and was the 2018 recipient of the Standing Ovation Innovation award for our socio-emotional learning approach
