Ensinar um estudante de cada vez

“Relationships are the Met’s foundation. A teacher and 14 students form a tightly knit group that stays together for four years. Teachers know each student deeply and have time to help with even the toughest academic and personal problems. Despite these advantages, the Met costs no more than other Providence high schools.

The Met enrolls the whole family, not just the individual student. Parents attend quarterly learning-team meetings where they help determine their child’s curriculum for the following quarter or year. They also attend quarterly exhibitions, where their child demonstrates his or her learning progress. Based on the exhibition, parents have a voice in determining whether their child has “passed” for the quarter or needs to do makeup work. In addition to their involvement in academic affairs, parents are members of all the committees that guide school policy and decision-making. Met parent involvement goes far beyond the bake sale.”
