A Year at Mission Hill logo

Ten videos. One year. A public school trying to help children learn and grow. The national conversation we need to be having.

Join the conversation:

How does one connect academics to the broader social context?

What goes into creating a powerful learning environment for children and adults? Meet the teachers, families and children of Mission Hill as they experience the highs and lows of a year of self-discovery, exploration, and frustration. And join us for a national conversation about the state of public education as it is – and as it ought to be.
