Learning Community Model

The design of St. Joseph, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Geneviève Catholic Schools are based on a learning community model, which is different than the conventional school building model in several ways. A learning community model consists of a suite of learning spaces of various sizes and characteristics, conducive to different purposes, with flexible boundaries between these spaces. Within a learning community, a group of teachers work collaboratively with use of the spaces being shared. Learning experiences for students are designed collaboratively, with the spaces used by both educators and students changing throughout the day, according to the purpose. There is also flexibility in student groupings and in the set of subjects being taught by teachers.

You are encouraged to view the attached series of videos, which provide an overview as well as teacher accounts of working and teaching within the learning community model.
