Schools in our network use an invigorating variety of approaches and pedagogies. At City Neighbors in Baltimore, the 17 families that got together to found the school chose a Reggio Emilia approach. Even though that has been primarily used for early education, at City Neighbors it has been applied through the 12th grade. There are now three City Neighbors schools; the cluster includes two elementary and one high school. The schools intend for each individual student is to be ”known, loved, and inspired.” Even in a tough neighborhood, this intention has yielded amazing results.
