The Birchwood Project

The Birchwood Project is a product of our 25 year experience and research at Birchwood School. Here we have had the rare and invaluable experience of having our own “lab school” environment pursuing the components of outstanding elementary and middle school education. Granted, a pursuit of this nature is never final; no one ever arrives at all the right answers. Nevertheless, our work has rendered us insights into good education, and provided our students with measurable academic and personal benefits. The Birchwood Project is our way of sharing what we have learned and inviting others to join our quest to provide children the best education possible.
