School Spaces
BC
The concept of the Buckminster School departs from the division of knowledge into conventional courses and grades. Nonetheless, for a systematic, rigorous learning, meaningful boundaries do need to be established. Towards this aim, the diverse teaching and learning trajectories are contained within continuously accessible Spaces — each having a dedicated physical dimension, for the residential periods, as well as a virtual one, for the online classes and collaboration.
