Our Philosophy
Spring Street International School is a close-knit community dedicated to helping students from diverse backgrounds find their voice and passion for learning. We build problem-solvers, team players, learners, and leaders through advanced academics and a hands-on curriculum in a safe and beautiful setting.
We believe in...
Relationships: When students know that teachers care, students care what teachers know. Our teachers are mentors and guides, engaging students in academic inquiry and creating space to discover what ignites them. Individuals: Every child is unique and deserves a unique education. We teach students, not classes, and tailor courses of study, assignments, and skill development around the needs of each individual student. Creativity: Characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to make new connections, and to innovate solutions, creativity thrives in our unique environment. Our students develop their own opinions and critical thinking. Experience: Learning emerges from doing and experiencing. Our students are not stuck at a desk. They work in groups, they lead, they present, they go beyond the walls of a classroom. Community: From individual relationships to global connections, our human ties define our personal experience and guide our actions.
Expeditionary Education
The school year begins with three days of preparation for a four-day backpacking expedition in the Cascade mountains which culminates in an all-school gathering at the basecamp to share one night together and reflect on the physical, social and environmental milestones the students achieved while on their backpacking expedition. The school year ends with MayTerm - three-week long expeditions to domestic and foreign locations exploring themes based on responsible engagement with nature and humanity. All faculty and staff are involved in planning and leading these expeditions.
