Hudson Lab School Online
At Hudson Lab School @ Home, teachers curate an engaging learning environment driven by children’s curiosity and exploration. As emergent educators, they understand that learning happens not by pushing or pulling children toward a clearly delineated finish line, but from developing comfort dwelling in the less clearly defined spaces. Projects and activities inspire creativity and teach children critical skills such as perseverance and resilience. A maximum class size of 6-8 helps children come together and create community online, to enjoy fun, games, jokes and friendship.
