The Mead Seven School Skills

The Seven School Skills represent our overarching approach to education and learning that truly sets Mead School students apart. These Skills are integral to our approach, providing a framework for the learning process that is essential for students to become independent, creative thinkers.

To Think

TO REASON & REFELCT WITH INTENTION

We ask children to think more deeply and with a level of consciousness that is unparalleled at other schools.

At The Mead School, we believe deep understanding begins when students are receptive to new ideas, fresh perspectives, and people of different backgrounds. 

To Act

TO RESPOND TO LEARNING IN UNIQUE, CREATIVE, & RESPONSIBLE WAYS 

Considering the different ways students can respond in any situation in their lives, from the academic to the interpersonal.

To Express

TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY & EFFECTIVELY

We believe in encouraging all forms of communication that allow students to develop new ways of expression by using all of themselves.

To Respect

TO UNDERSTAND & HONOR ONESELF & THE WORLD

We encourage our students to care deeply about themselves, about learning, and the greater communities of school, country, and world.

To Intuit

TO UNDERSTAND ON A DEEP LEVEL

Intuition is the fast, unconscious work of the brain. We ask our students to recognize and tap into the power of personal intuition from the time they are very young.
