The Birchwood Project

Mission
    To provide parents and educators with practical help about the application of current research and historical precedents surrounding K-8 general education, gifted education, and character development
Background
    The Birchwood Project is a product of our 25 year experience and research at Birchwood School. Here we have had the rare and invaluable experience of having our own "lab school" environment pursuing the components of outstanding elementary and middle school education. Granted, a pursuit of this nature is never final; no one ever arrives at all the right answers. Nevertheless, our work has rendered us insights into good education, provided our students with measurable academic and personal benefits. The Birchwood Project is our way of sharing what we have learned and inviting others to join our quest to provide children the best education possible.

Content
    The Birchwood Project is designed for parents who are interested in learning more about child development (ages 3-15) and the components of premier education. It provides an historical and research-based perspective from which parents can make informed decisions. Currently, the project consists of a monthly essay reviewing and applying current research to education and child development. These essays are included in Birchwood's monthly newsletter and can be found on Chuck's blog at www.birchwoodschool.org/blog.
