The Boulder Community School of Integrated Studies (BCSIS) provides a rich aesthetic environment in which artistic expression, active involvement, and academic excellence provide a foundation for the learning expression. A holistic approach addresses the head, heart, and hand of each child. Rhythm and sensitivity to developmental levels assure that students are held in a secure place where, through exposure to multicultural activities and creative projects, they emerge as self-defined, competent, and compassionate individuals.
MISSION: The BCSIS approach is inspired by the work of several educators and a variety of methods, including 1) Rudolph Steiner and a Waldorf-inspired curriculum., 2) Howard Gardner and the theory of multiple intelligences and other applications of multidimensional whole brain/body learning, 3) integrated day and student-initiated project-learning approach, 4) multiculturalism and a curriculum that embraces the people of the world, 5) Western education and the skill-building techniques of traditional approaches, 6) arts-integrated curriculum and how we make learning meaningful to children’s daily lives
