Episode 2: Civil Discourse & Civic-Minded Education

In Episode 2 of The Satellite, we learn why St. Anne’s School’s approach to civic-minded education is so unique, and how St. Anne’s School is practicing civil discourse at the student, faculty, and parent levels in a variety of ways–some of which have been in practice at the School for many years, and others which are new this year but are already making a big impact. We hear discussion on why it is more important than ever–with the 2024 presidential election in our midst—for schools to lean into issues-centered education and provide ample civic engagement opportunities for their students. From Fourth Grade Peacemakers to the Middle School Social Contract to Eighth Grade Capstones, we learn how St. Anne’s School is equipping students to be engaged, respectful, and civic-minded citizens who aren’t just sitting at the table of democracy, but are bringing something to it.
