Our Mission:

"The Rainshadow program is dedicated to helping all students, regardless of interests, aspirations, or prior academic achievement to become enthusiastic learners through participation in field-based disciplinary activities. Rainshadow students will learn the value of the academic disciplines by applying them to achieve meaningful community goals. Rainshadow’s founders believe that students learn best when involved in activities that allow them to use the skills and knowledge they are learning to achieve real world ends. The program will involve students in projects aimed at improving the quality of life in the local community. They may work on helping to restore a river or determine how the region can use the river to promote a healthy economy. They might design a museum exhibit, or a museum. The project-based program is designed to help students learn to use the disciplines to think critically and grow in problem-solving ability to become productive individuals and capable, caring citizens."
