Kindness as an Avenue to Awe

While many schools are emphasizing the importance of test scores and textbooks, Puget Sound Community School is focusing on something different: kindness and collaboration. Founder Andy Smallman recognized the importance of creating a safe space for students that encouraged the development of their unique gifts, fostered by a spirit of gratitude and present moment appreciation. In this Awakin Call, Andy shares how his early experience shaped his desire to reimagine the traditional learning environment, and the impact it's had on the lives of his students and greater community.
