The Institute for Social Renewal supports independent schools and forward thinking organizations and individuals to develop the capacities of what will be most needed in society and the new economy — creativity, adaptability, critical thinking and the ability to communicate and collaborate.
The Institute surveyed schools implementing accessible-to-all tuition approaches across the country and found the following benefits reported in the schools and communities:
- Community connection, understanding and involvement
- Inclusiveness and accessibility
- Greater transparency and communication
- Higher enrollment
- Increased fundraising potential
- Positive factor in teacher recruitment
- Ability to sustain schools
Currently, we are working with a whole school approach, aligning the social practices of the school with the pedagogy and focusing on the art of conscious conversation. We provide:
- Consulting services
- Presentations
- Workshops and training
