Where Students are Co-Architects of Their Education

Giftedness is how our students experience the world; it is how they ask questions, make connections and wonder about the world around them. Sometimes their cognitive and emotional makeup don’t match with their chronological age. Logan is a school that helps gifted students understand their unique learning profiles. Children need to know themselves intellectually, socially and emotionally. We help them build the skills to communicate their unique ideas and experiences to the world.

Giftedness is not part-time for Logan students. Rather than providing short term enrichment opportunities, Logan creates a space where gifted students’ needs can be identified and met by expert teachers, and where they can find a community of peers that understands and supports them. A student’s individual interests are the driver of their learning and through self-directed units of study, our students are the heroes of their own education stories.

Collaboration at The Logan School is both intentional and naturally occurring. Students work together in Class Units, small group discussions, and during independent work time—sharing ideas, testing theories, and offering feedback. Field trips and Class Units, co-designed with our Environmental Education teachers, create additional opportunities for hands-on, shared learning experiences.

Logan teachers build a toolbox of resources for their classrooms. This allows them to create differentiated curriculum for each student, centered on the unit topic chosen by the student. The units are thoughtfully designed in partnership with the student to be a rich, multidisciplinary experience. Students are supported to cultivate a wide range of academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal skills. Students build their academic skills through meaningful, hands-on experiences within their classroom communities. Teachers design and lead small groups to develop and build on the literacies while embracing the higher order thinking of analyzing, evaluating and creating.

We stay closely connected with our alumni and their families as they transition to new schools, high school, college, and beyond. Time and again, they tell us that a Logan education not only prepares students academically but also equips them with the confidence and adaptability to thrive in the real world. Our emphasis on social-emotional learning empowers Logan students to self-advocate, forge new opportunities, and become changemakers in their schools, careers, and communities. Our alumni go on to excel in diverse fields—pioneering research, launching innovative businesses, leading social initiatives, and making meaningful contributions to the world.
