The Arkansas Fish and Wildlife Conservation grant award has helped the

school with the solar equipment to run their recently donated Farm Bot. This will be an

integrated science and technology project where the students will learn about solar energy by creating the solar-powered irrigation system. This grant also provided tools, testing equipment and water collection systems to help the students learn about water and soil quality and conservation. Both our bee and garden and outdoor science teachers are already using the new field guides equipment and resources and cannot wait to get the Farm Bot up and running.

It’s the beginning of our 50th year at Clear Spring school and there is joy and laughter once again across campus.  Old friends reunited, new friends have been made, year long games of tag have started, and the playground is busy once more. As we look towards the next 50 years, we have a renewed commitment to our mission and values, a renewed sense of purpose. With a firm grounding in our roots of progressive, individualized, multi-sensory education, we are confident our graduates will be able to rise to the challenges of the 21st century. 

​

In conversations with friends, those in academia as well as the private sector, one common theme about education stood out; High school graduates are not prepared. From critical and creative thinking skills, to team collaborations, to basic communication skills, students are entering the workforce and academia woefully unequipped.  The skill sets and education needed to face the challenges of the 21st century are no longer being fulfilled in the traditional system. 

 

They are, however, at the root of educational philosophy. We look forward to meeting the challenges of the next 50 years standing true to our character: creatively, collaboratively, and critically evaluating our progress, while constantly communicating and engaging with the community.
