We shape our building, and afterwards our building shapes us. We believe that the physical environment, as well as the emotional/social environment, must be intentionally designed to support the academic environment. We design the beautiful school that support 21st century learning modes. We understand that it takes more than a pretty new building and the latest technologies to create 21st century school facilities. The physical learning environment matters! At 21st Century Schools we have spent time teaching about the relationship between the Physical Environment and student achievement. We began with describing how teachers could convert their traditional "box" classrooms with rows of students desk, etc., into a transformed environment that supported what we knew were best practices in curriculum and instruction. “ GREAT FUTURES BEGIN HERE AT RENFORD!”
