School Notes
At Hudson Lab School, we nurture children's instinctive desire to
explore, learn, and contribute. Our academic program is designed to
give learners voice in their own learning, to harness their
unique interests and strengths, and to reflect on their growth so
that they are empowered to make thoughtful decisions about their
direction and priorities. We call this Student Agency, and it is
fundamental to our school culture.
Our ambition for our students is to create a life they love. By empowering children to trust themselves and teaching them the process to figure out how to create it, they will have the tools to lead a well-lived, joyful life. They will have the creativity and courage to take daunting risks, they will grow stronger from life's inevitable challenges, and they will endeavor to shape their world through community stewardship and marvelous adventures.
