A World Café for Parents
Join us to create the high school of the future.
We are laying plans for a new high school in Silicon Valley based on integrative principles and preparing students for college, career, service, and self-discovery.
You can help to develop this vision.
- How will young people develop identity - emotional, cultural, and spiritual?
- How will school make knowledge relevant to oneself and to the world?
- How will academic life encourage community service and civic engagement?
- How will students learn to understand a diverse society?
Location: Narayanan’s (1438 Enderby Way, Sunnyvale)
