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."
