Brett Logan, Head of School
The effects of an impactful education are released slowly, like a slow drip of perspective and wisdom positively shaping our actions for years to come. It should come as no surprise then that an authentic, impactful education is slow to obtain. It’s not something that can be rushed, or treated like a transaction. Meaningful, experiential education, rich with positive relationships, is difficult to translate onto a report card, it’s difficult to put into a box, and in some cases, it is difficult to even describe its impact orally or in writing, even when we know that it’s happening all around us.
Impactful learning happens when students get a voice as to what they are learning about. It happens when students are carefully guided outside of their comfort zones. Impactful learning happens when a school structures itself in a way that benefits deep learning, even if it takes more time and effort to organize and orchestrate. Providing an impactful education is precisely what we seek to achieve at CMA, knowing full well that the learning will take years to be fully realized.
